The 6DOF attitude of the perceiver as valve geometry regulating NEMA flow through the bow-tie bottleneck.
Core Function
SelfMesh operationalizes the I-Tube/My-Stream interface as a steerable object within the Threadplex.
| Level | Function | Metaphor |
|---|---|---|
| Φ(t) | What the field is doing | Ontological weather |
| SelfMesh | How subject-vehicle is oriented | Aerodynamics of attention |
| Habitats | Envelope of possible maneuvers | Flight envelope |
The Selfplex
The “Selfplex” is the Ψ-pose—the instantaneous attitude of the bow-tie throat. You are not the pump; you are the valve geometry regulating flow.
Installation Vector Theory
Capture mechanisms as torsional forces on DOF pairs:
| Vector | Elemental | DOF Effect | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authority | Air + Metal | Yaw locked, Roll constrained | Knot formation |
| Repetition | Earth | Z-axis rut, Pitch flattened | Twist→Knot |
| Affect | Water + Fire | Yaw flooded, Pitch urgent | Lumemic capture |
| Somatic | Wood | X/Y without Z | Ψ-from without Ψ-for |
Trauma Signature
When Authority + Repetition + Affect saturate all axes: - ε → 0 - Ω-permeability collapses - Body learns: no maneuver viable except compliance
Bow-Tie Topology
The toroidal mesh viewed edge-on is the bow-tie rotated 90°:
Left Funnel → Selfplex → Right Funnel
Compression (6DOF) Expansion
Recovery Maneuvers
- Yaw unlock: σ-recalibration
- Z-plunge: δγ-acceleration
- Roll adjust: μ-softening
- Full reset: ✶-integration
