• It shows up in the room, with you, on schedule.4
• It runs without a decision — they notice only afterward.5
• The environment is doing the damage right now, not only historically.8
• The trouble is how they hold their thinking, not what it says.2

• The every-time pattern — reproduces across partners, jobs, decades, indifferent to circumstance.A relational template, not a floor-3 belief about the current situation.4
• The reaction too big for the occasion.Follow the flare, not the topic.6 · 7
