IPD

DDRR
Decomposition, Decomposure, Recomposure, Recomposition
Decomposition
The external process where the anchors of society (institutions, shared truth, economic fairness) rot away or lose their legitimacy. The "house" becomes structurally unsound.
Decomposure
The internal, somatic reaction to end point Decomposition. The moment the individual’s nervous system (CORE-i) realizes the floor is gone. Felt as "that sinking feeling," chronic exhaustion, or vague panic.
Recomposure
The reflex action to stop the fall of Decomposure. The individual grabs the nearest available "hook" to stabilize themselves. Often manifests as addiction, tribalism, or rigid ideology.
Recomposition
The solidification of Recomposure into a permanent structure. The building of a "bunker" around the anxiety. This creates hard, polarized identities that reject nuance to survive.
