Mind

Neurocognitive State

Mind captures present neurocognitive patterns that shape autonomic activation and stress recovery dynamics.

Domain 1 of 5

Stress Baseline

Chronic activation level shaped by pressure, rumination, and persistent urgency.

Mechanism

Sympathetic activation load

Stress Baseline captures a primary mechanism within Mind and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 2 of 5

Regulation Capacity

Ability to recover from activation and intentionally downshift nervous system load.

Mechanism

Autonomic recovery capacity

Regulation Capacity captures a primary mechanism within Mind and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 3 of 5

Cognitive Load

Mental fragmentation and bandwidth depletion from interruptions and multitasking.

Mechanism

Executive bandwidth saturation

Cognitive Load captures a primary mechanism within Mind and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 4 of 5

Information Exposure

Emotional activation and cognitive stress from high-stimulation media inputs.

Mechanism

Media-driven emotional reactivity load

Information Exposure captures a primary mechanism within Mind and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 5 of 5

Emotional Reactivity

Pattern of volatility, anxiety frequency, and recovery speed after emotional activation.

Mechanism

Affective volatility and recovery latency

Emotional Reactivity captures a primary mechanism within Mind and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery
