1. Scientific Definition

Load is the cumulative activation of the nervous system in response to internal or external demand.
The system retains the highest load until consciously reduced.

2. Practical Definition

Once you hit a “10,” you stay at “10” until you do something that brings it down.

3. Low-Load Behaviour

Clear thinking, full perception, open possibilities.

4. High-Load Behaviour

Tunnel perception, overreaction, collapse risk.

5. Misinterpretation

Humans assume load drops automatically. It never does.

6. Narrative Distortion

“I’m suddenly upset.”
No — the load was already high; the trigger just revealed it.

7. Institutional Expression

Overloaded organisations freeze, delay decisions, create committees.

8. Earth-2.0 Expression

Load is monitored, reduced in real-time; systems stay fluid.

9. Tools Derived

• Load-state awareness

• Load-reduction protocols

• 1–10 mapping

10. Summary

Load is the baseline pressure of the entire human system — it never resets automatically.
