CORE DEFINITION

Although David Hawkins' specific levels (from shame to enlightenment) are controversial, the core scaffold lies in the idea that emotional states are not linear but logarithmic energy fields. When you are at a low energy level (such as guilt or fear), your behavioral motivations and outcomes can be severely distorted.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

State first. At low energy levels, avoid making major decisions. You cannot solve problems created by 'fear' while operating in the 'fear' frequency. First, raise your energy level through actions (such as exercise or gratitude), then address the problem.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

'Hawkins' nonlinear calibration' may refer to Jeff Hawkins (PalmPilot pioneer, Numenta founder) and his ideas about 'nonlinear calibration/prediction' in neural systems, involving how the cortex uses nonlinear mappings for temporal prediction. The specific term is not standard.
