Working idea
Arc Mapping
A simple way to follow a pattern across time: what sets it off, what you do to protect yourself, and what changes when you try something different.
When this is useful.
- Repeated cycles of the same problem with new explanations.
- Strong insight and weak transfer into decisions.
- Inconsistent follow-through under stress.
What you might try.
- Define one arc target and one behavioral marker.
- Track interference patterns explicitly.
- Review progress at predictable intervals.
