At its core, the Biozygotic Engine (BZE) takes information about your biology, personal history, psychological state, and environment — and runs it through a mathematical model to produce your Psychosomatic Margin: a single number that tells you not just how you're doing, but why, and which specific variable is your biggest current restriction, or strength.
It is only as accurate as your honesty with yourself. Remember this an educational and reflective tool, not a clinical diagnostic. Self-reported data is an expression of your private inner reality (psyche) — and math doesn't lie about what you give it.
⚙ V3.2 — Resource ScaffoldingThese three toggles define the structural biases of your nervous system — calibrating the mathematical multipliers that shape how inputs are processed. They are not diagnoses; they are architectural parameters.
How does your mind model reality? In predictive coding terms, this sets the precision weighting on your generative model — affecting both narrative integration (retention) and susceptibility to prediction error (dissipation). High simulation capacity amplifies both: richer integration and higher rumination risk under uncertainty.
Facts, steps, and present reality. Minimal future-casting. Low prediction-error amplification.
Some visual and narrative imagination, balanced with grounded practical reasoning.
Rich internal imagery. Strong narrative integration — and stronger rumination risk under high ξ.
Based on Aron's differential susceptibility theory: high permeability amplifies both negative environments (more damage) AND positive ones (greater benefit from relational safety). This is bidirectional — HSP is not purely a liability. The engine reflects this asymmetry.
You naturally filter background stimuli. Less affected by environmental chaos or emotional atmospheres — positive or negative.
Typical environmental processing. Overwhelmed in high chaos but not unusually sensitive to relational warmth.
You absorb both environmental stress and relational safety more deeply than average. Safe environments are a significant advantage.
Based on Porges's Polyvagal Theory: your habitual autonomic state under stress modifies your peripheral coupling capacity (α_periph) directly. Both sympathetic hyperactivation and dorsal shutdown reduce vagal brake efficiency — but through different mechanisms. Flexible vagal response is the baseline.
Under stress: energy drops, detachment, dissociation, chronic fatigue. Reduces α_periph via vagal withdrawal into freeze state.
Your nervous system accurately scales energy to meet the actual level of challenge. Full α_periph capacity available.
Under stress: hyper-vigilance, anxiety, racing thoughts. Reduces α_periph via HRV compression and vagal suppression.
Your Biographical Foundation & Biological Anchor. Inputs like Age, ACEs, and Resilience establish your hard constraints. Use recent lab work or estimate to see how physiological changes shift your capacity.
Your Psychosomatic Experience & Context. Inputs like Agency, Coherence, and Weathering capture your lived reality. Radical honesty here is mathematically vital. Self-reported data is high-fidelity data.
