CORE DEFINITION

Chest fullness, suffocation and wheezing. The lung lobes are distended and cannot retract (emphysema).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

A balloon that has lost its elasticity. The lung should be like a balloon that can contract and expand. Due to long-term phlegm and blood stasis obstruction, the lung balloon is blown up and cannot shrink back. It is filled with residual air (dead air), and fresh air cannot enter.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Chronic illness with intermingled phlegm and blood stasis, lung qi distension and inability to astringe and descend, airway obstruction, residual air retention (similar to emphysema). The pathogenesis is "root deficiency and branch excess" - deficiency of lung, spleen, and kidney at the root, and phlegm and blood stasis obstruction at the branch.

Glass Walls

Distinct from the 'glass ceiling' (vertical promotion barrier), it refers to women or minority groups being isolated in certain functional departments (e.g., HR, administration), making it difficult to move laterally to core business departments (e.g., sales, R&D), thereby lacking the key experience needed for promotion.

Inertia

Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and is described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). It is one of the primary manifestations of mass, one of the core quantitative properties of physical systems.
