The Questions  ·  the self · the lean

Why did you walk in calm and leave agitated?

You are not imagining it, it is not weakness, and knowing the mechanism is most of what it takes to stop being moved by it without noticing.

A room has its own weather, and it leans the selves inside it.

The group is one more force on the reading.

Nothing governs your states but your own self.

What this settles

So the room is real and it is not in command. It pushes; the reading is still taken by you — which is why two people can leave the same room in opposite conditions.

Not this question

I know it works. I do not know why it works.

Also in this footing, and a different question. That one is about escape. This one is about what a room does to you while you are still in it.

Where this question sits

The lean

How a room tilts the selves inside it, and why the things people reach for to move their own state work at all. 1 of the 2 here have been worked through; the rest are on the map and not yet walked.
