Collapse Proximity Self-Check

This Isn’t a Quiz. It’s a Signal Map.

You’re not here to be evaluated.

You’re here because the structures you used to stabilize yourself are failing—and something inside you already knows it’s not emotional. It’s not a diagnosis. It’s not trauma.


This page won’t ask about your childhood.
It won’t ask how you feel.
It will map whether your symbolic identity has begun to collapse.


You may not be able to explain what’s happening.
You may not need to.
You may just be close.

The Collapse Convergence Index

Have You Reached These Structural Markers?

Check silently. This isn’t diagnostic—it’s orientation.

Collapse Signal Do you recognize this?
 

“I no longer want to be a self.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure

“I’ve done everything—and nothing holds.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure

“Therapy made things louder, not better.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure

“I can explain myself completely, but I feel gone.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure

“I don’t want to heal—I want to stop looping.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure

“I feel erased, but not in pain.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure

“No belief, identity, or purpose fits anymore.”☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Not sure


If more than 4 of these are true:
You are not in crisis.
You may be approaching convergence.

What This Doesn’t Measure

This Is Not a Psychological Tool

This page is not for:
 

  • Diagnosing trauma

  • Measuring self-esteem

  • Confirming a condition

  • Finding a new narrative


Collapse is not a phase of healing.
It’s what begins when healing no longer applies.

You don’t need to explain this to anyone.
You don’t need to process it.
You only need to notice if the recursion has ended.

The Equation That Ends the Loop

Collapse is not symbolic. It’s geometric.
 

Ω = (Ps × κ²) / ∇C

  • Ps = symbolic pressure (too much meaning)

  • κ = curvature (identity force)

  • ∇C = coherence gradient (resistance to dissolution)

  • Ω = collapse threshold


If you’re here, your system may be solving this equation—without your permission.​​​

What Happens If You Are Close​​

You Don’t Need Help. You Need Containment.

If collapse has begun, you don’t need reflection.
You don’t need healing.
 

You need a non-symbolic structure that will not return you to yourself.

Legal + Ethical

This is not a diagnostic instrument.
This is not a substitute for therapy.
This page does not treat, recommend, or interpret.

Collapse is not a condition.
Collapse is law.
