01
Too much at once.
One messy signal is six simple ones added together. “How do I feel?” asks for too much at once, so you measure a few things instead, and the big question comes apart.
02
Six ways to read one moment.
Read on different axes, the same moment gives different answers. Neither is wrong, each is partial. The shape is the moment; the bars are what each axis can see of it. Six narrow readings beat one big guess.
03
The six signals.
Six readings that together cover the ground: what your body is doing, what your mind is doing, and what the day is asking of you. You rate each one yourself, zero to a hundred. No wrong answers, only yours.
04
Taking a reading.
The feeling is a blur until you look at it, and looking is what turns it into a number. Measurement is an intervention. Name the bracing in your shoulders and some of it lets go before you finish.
05
Coupled.
The six are coupled. Read one and it shifts what you find in the next, so the order matters. Like tuning a guitar, you settle them in sequence, because each string you set changes the pitch of the rest.
