>>> Calculating Protocol

Reduce activation through analytical clarity

 

The Calculating Protocol uses analytical breakdown to reduce ambiguity and stabilize the mind.
When activation creates confusion, contradiction, or unclear signals, Calculating helps you clarify what’s happening by analyzing it into smaller, more precise components.

 

Steps

1. Identify One Unclear Signal

Choose one thing that feels confusing, contradictory, or unclear.

 

2. Break It Into Three Components

Analyze it into smaller parts.

Examples:

• What is the input?
• What is the output?
• What is the variable?

 

Or:

• What is known?
• What is unknown?
• What is assumed?

 

3. Compare Two Components

Look for:

• differences
• similarities
• contradictions
• mismatches

 

This is pure analysis — no sorting, no choosing.

 

4. Count Up

Increase analytical precision (1 → 5).
Notice more detail or clarity.

 

5. Count Down

Reduce precision (5 → 1).
Let the analysis soften.

 

6. Identify One Contradiction or One Clarity Point

Not a decision — just a recognition.

 

Completion Signal

You feel:

• clearer
• less confused
• less mentally tangled
• more precise
• more stable

 

Why This Protocol Works

Calculating reduces sensory by cold detail.
It gives your mind structure without demanding answers.

This lowers cognitive load and restores clarity.

The CEF Method helps you:

• Identify which emotional center is active (Head, Heart, Gut)

• Recognize the dominant operator (e.g., Expanding, Boosting, Arranging)

• Apply structured protocols to modulate and complete emotional processes
