Principlev1
After experiencing significant adversity, recalibrate what
After experiencing significant adversity, recalibrate what constitutes an emergency by comparing current stressors against the expanded baseline your nervous system now carries.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Perception as Predictive Construction (perception as predictive construction) and Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (brain as prediction machine). The lesson describes threat assessment recalibration through reference-dependent evaluation. Post-adversity, the prediction machinery uses a wider reference class, changing what triggers threat responses. This is prescriptive: deliberately use your expanded reference frame to assess new stressors.
