Your self is many past selves

But that self is actually made up of many 20, 30, 50, 70 previous selves. So actually, that one circle is referring to many other circles in the liquid armature in the model. And so that's how it knows who to be and when to be it, and how it can change, and also why it gets activated or triggered. If something reminds you of your ex-breakup or you know, your parents, or some sort of unresolved loss, it's triggering an old self that then attaches to the current narrative self and then expresses through the narrative lens and causes activation in the body and whatnot.
