Episode 6: Duty Cycle - What Is Allowed vs Denied

Core Spine

  • A waveform is a system of values changing over time.
  • What we value determines what we amplify.
  • What we amplify becomes our experience.

Concept

Duty cycle measures how much of a signal is on versus off. Fifty percent means half on. Twenty percent means rarely on. Eighty percent means mostly on.

Value Layer

Boundaries are values. Permission systems shape behavior. What you allow determines what can happen, and what you deny defines the edge of your world.

Art and Sensory Layer

Pulse waves, threshold lines, light switching on and off. The pattern is less smooth and more decisive, like a gate.

Product Tie-In

Boundary and Burnout Diagnostic. See where your on time is misaligned and where you need recovery.

Why This Matters

If everything is on, nothing can be sustained. Duty cycle is the math of sustainability.
