READ · LOCALITY / POLARITY / LOOPS
You, beside the situation.
Choose an emphasis in each row.
The useful position depends on the moment.
How are you processing now—and what does the situation call for? “Both” means you want both emphases available. No position is automatically better.
Locality
Where is your information coming from?
Understand the pair
Internal experience ↔ external environment.
Draw on memory, personal values, and inner experience. Also check present conditions, other people, and observable information.
Polarity
How are you shaping it?
Understand the pair
Converge to the thing ↔ expand to the context.
Vertical brings definition, precision, and a useful priority. Horizontal brings relationships, alternatives, and wider context.
Loops
What’s guiding your response?
Understand the pair
Cortical-thinking ↔ subcortical-feeling.
Bring organized thinking and deliberate goals into relationship with feeling, value, urgency, and what matters.
PRIME · ONE INTENTIONAL NUDGE
Small shift. Clear intention.
Compare each dimension, then choose the adjustment that seems most useful. You can edit any suggestion to fit your situation.
What would help right now?
PERFORM · REFLECT · RECALIBRATE
Take the next step.
Use it in the situation. Notice what actually happens.
AFTER THE MOMENT
What did you learn?
Return when you have tried your prime. Let the outcome inform your next read.
COMPLETE ENOUGH TO ACT. OPEN ENOUGH TO ADAPT.
A prime is a beginning.
Read the moment again when conditions change. Bring what you learned into the next small move.
