A living interior holds its contradictions oscillating. Each line shows where you tend to resolve, and whether the tension is still alive. A frozen pole turns to ice: not a victory, a blind spot.
A companion for the walk. It sees your gauges and tensions when you ask, speaks briefly, and goes deeper where you point it. It observes patterns; it is not a therapist, and it will say so.
This instrument wears its epistemics on the outside. Strong ground and open frontier, never confused.
| Claim | Status |
|---|---|
| Tensions held oscillating are the right object of measurement; rigidity, not negativity, is the risk marker | GROUNDED |
| Position + aliveness as the two readouts per tension | POSITION |
| Trust measured as prediction calibration (the future self, staked) | PROPOSED |
| Settled / quiet / outspending whisper thresholds | PROPOSED · rules |
| Whether any of this is felt rather than functional | OPEN |
| Reading | Estimator |
|---|---|
| Position | EWMA of daily resolutions (alpha 0.3) |
| Aliveness | Dynamic Complexity, fluctuation x distribution (Schiepek & Strunk) |
| Inertia | lag-1 autocorrelation (Kuppens affect dynamics) |
| Trust | Brier score of staked self-predictions, split short vs long horizon |
| Anchor | your own reference class shown before each stake (Tetlock / Kahneman outside view) |
| Calibration | aggregated, direction-labeled (over / under), never per-item |
Spread is always shown beside aliveness, so a line that is flat because you are content is not misread as frozen because you are stuck (the inertia-instability paradox).
| Forecast if, when, or which way a change is coming. Early-warning signals support noticing, not prediction; a change can also arrive with no warning at all. |
| Diagnose, treat, or name a condition. It observes patterns; a human professional is the right door for that. |
| Read a thin week as a full one. Sparse stretches get humbler language, and the reading says so. |
| Sell you anything, or send your walk anywhere you did not choose. |
Local first, always: the walk lives on this device and works with no account and no signal. If you want it to follow you across devices, carry it, it syncs to your own private row and nowhere else.
An instrument of the Funded Boundary framework: a self is a boundary that funds its own continuation, its interior a society of contradictions held in tension, its act the choosing of which tension to answer. This profile reads the state of that walk. It replaces no one's judgment and diagnoses nothing.
