(Placeholder intro. The healing journey, the journaling, and what the data says.)

One person, measured properly, for a long time.

The plan

Run every one of my journal entries through the Oracle read and look at what changes over time.

Same instrument that reads a thread of strangers, pointed at years of my own writing instead. Each entry gets its emotional profile, and then the question is whether the shape moves: does the baseline shift, do the below-the-line states thin out, does the altitude climb, and does any of it line up with the cycle or with what I was actually doing at the time.

Not started yet. This is the note, not the work.
