High-curvature nervous systems detect fractures and patterns before language arrives.
The shape is there first — in the body, in the sudden silence when a room’s lighting becomes differential equations, in the moment a child stops asking permission to exist because the manifold finally aligns. Monotropism is not deficit; it is the only path that respects the curvature. Masking is not adaptation; it is architecture built to hide the true geometry. Unmasking at forty is not crisis — it is the terror and relief of unnecessary load suddenly falling away.
This cluster holds the lived versions of helical learning, post-COVID family rupture, the double-empathy problem as topology, the quiet collapse of executive function in winter, and the way pattern-seeking turns grocery store flicker into Morse code. These are not pathologies. They are the same coherence physics that runs hydrogen, just scaled to human nervous systems.
The hydrogen barbell predicted this spiral ascent. The free-energy translations mapped the expected surprise. The attachment manifolds described the rupture and re-entrainment. Here they are felt, not argued.
