Unbroken Focus

"i think that my most profound disability is the fact that i have an unbroken focus on the object of my focus that goes all the way down to my train of thought, it is all encompasing and deabilitating" — 2023-11-05 | Rice Cake Line Analysis

23 months before learning the word "monotropism."

Decoded

• "unbroken focus" — Single channel. No distribution.
• "all the way down" — Not surface attention — recursive depth
• "all encompasing" — Nothing else exists when I'm in it
• "deabilitating" — In a world built for polytropics

The Match

Murray's "attention tunnelling" (1992):

• Single powerful attention beam ✓
• Depth rather than breadth ✓
• Complete absorption ✓
• Disability in polytropic environments ✓

I described it perfectly. Without the vocabulary.

The Paradox

The same thing that makes me "disabled" in meetings makes me capable of 100-hour deep dives that ship enterprise systems solo.

It's not broken. It's different.
