Variability & Stability

Steward Summary

Variability = how calm the line is around your baseline. Calm fields make cleanwindows; noisy fields scatter energy.

---

The 3 checks

1. Wiggle test (last 6h): Did the line stay mostly within a finger-width on your chart (≈ ~10 Hz)? → Calm if yes.
2. Spike count (today): ≤ 3 spikes = fine; > 3 = don’t add load.
3. Mood/physiology: Easy breath, clear mind, low urgency = steady.

Traffic light

• GREEN: Calm wiggle + ≤3 spikes + steady mood.
• AMBER: One of the above is iffy → lighter gates; add recovery.
• RED: Two or more are off → hold gates; rest; simplify inputs.

How to calm a noisy field (quick fixes)

• Water + brief sunlight/nature + 5–10 min easy walk.
• Close cords; quiet the room/site; reduce media.
• One honest service act; stop stacking catalysts.
• Prioritize sleep.

Micro-ritual (10s)

“I choose steadiness over spectacle.
Let my window be clean and my timing kind.”

What to jot down (1 line)

Date • Node • Wiggle: calm/medium/noisy • Spike count • Mood: steady/edgy • Next action

Analyst Notes (optional)

• Stability Index (SI 0–100): 100 − (2×MAD_24h) − (Range_6h) − (5×SpikeCount_24h) − (10×MeanT½ in hours) (clamp 0–100).
• Read SI: 80–100 excellent, 65–79 good, 50–64 caution, <50 unstable.
