Choice point
What direction does this Yawn serve?
Keep a chosen direction available when a familiar emotional or behavioral loop returns.
proposed · Synthesis of Dave's September 11 design request; open to correction.
What is a purpose vector?What is a choice point?
Working model · informed by ACT
A moment when noticing what is happening can make another response available. The feeling may remain while the response changes. A useful choice depends on the person, the situation, and what is actually possible.

Governing inquiry · fixed first
This question orients the model. Reading activity cannot displace it.
The remaining questions follow the selected ordering mode.
What is happening, and what am I noticing?
Separate the situation, bodily feeling, interpretation, prediction, and impulse. Dave's wave image can help describe a recurring pattern. It does not establish that every emotion marks an unresolved problem.

What do I want to keep choosing when it stops feeling urgent?
Name the commitment and why it matters. Use Keep in view to protect a question in your learned order. That preference is separate from attention, agreement, and factual confidence. It does not create a scheduled reminder.

Which responses are available within this situation?
Consider pausing, continuing, asking for help, changing the environment, reducing the task, or taking a small action. Constraints belong in the model. Lack of an available option is different from lack of willingness.

What small move would serve that direction now?
Choose one feasible response and state what you expect it to change. A toward or away move is judged in context against chosen values; the same behavior can serve different purposes in different situations.

What happened, and what should we revise?
Record the observed consequence separately from the intention. Did the move help? Was the question useful? Keep failed predictions and unresolved constraints visible. A completed action is not proof that the model was right.
