Background Processes
The fears, survival patterns, and old logic that keep running in your mind whether you notice them or not. Some were installed by you, some by your environment, some by people who raised you. This setting is not about stopping them — it is about whether you even know they are there.
David Smith and the First Communion
Background Processes are the fears and old logic that keep running whether you notice them or not. David Smith spent decades carrying the vivid, visceral fear of that first communion — the blood, the priest, the wafer stuck to the roof of his mouth. It ran in the background long after he left the church. Naming it, laughing at it, and tracing it back to its origin was how he finally saw it for what it was: old code installed by someone else, not a truth about the universe.
