Quick-Loop Reset

Quick-Loop Reset is an eight-tap, three-minute ritual that rebuilds a seven-layer Unified Grid of awareness—from Local to Infinite—while you race into a new day. It’s a swift pit-stop for crafting (or re-covering) your Unified-State Projection on the go.

A color cue sweeps each wedge of the wheel; every tap both lightens that wedge and upgrades the shades you laid down before, while the final round shrinks the hub to a laser-point, signalling full cognitive fusion. The design borrows heavily from research on micro-breaks, grounding, panoramic vision, paced breathing, stargazing, interoception, emotion-labeling, and serial refreshing in working memory, all of which show measurable boosts in focus, mood, and stress-regulation within minutes.(Healthline, sensorytrust.org.uk, PMC, askdrnandi.com, YouTube, ScienceDirect, Kids Mental Health Foundation, PubMed, workingoncalm.com, Nature)

1 · Concept

The wheel gives you a “pit-stop” mental reset.

  1. Local → Infinite rounds – seven quick taps refresh each attentional lens; the hub breath that follows cements the layer.
  2. Unified-Projection round – a final eight-tap sweep when all wedges are white. Each tap shrinks the hub, focusing working-memory items into one “white cockpit.”
  3. Finish – the prompt flashes “Unified grid online ✨”; you can press Start to loop again before the next big task or meeting.

Shade Logic

  • Grey-0 → Grey-6 → White progression shows accumulating clarity.
  • A hub tap in early rounds brightens all non-white wedges by a single step but never makes them white—only finishing a round does that.
  • In the final round, every tap also shrinks the hub until it reaches 25 % of its original size; clicks are still easy thanks to an invisible hit-box.

Controls

  • Mobile-friendly: the whole wedge is a clickable Path2D.
  • Restart instantly from the “Unified grid online” screen.

4 · Why It Works as a Package

  1. Embodied Ladder – moving from soles to stars walks the cortical homunculus from somatosensory → visual → interoceptive → meta-awareness maps, lighting each network briefly.
  2. Spaced, Distributed Re-activation – the 8×7 tap matrix mirrors serial-refreshing cycles shown to stabilise items in WM. (PubMed)
  3. Multi-modal Cues – combining proprioception, gaze, breath, and semantic labeling maximises hippocampal pattern completion, improving recall of the “snapshot” later. (ScienceDirect)
  4. Sympathetic-to-Parasympathetic Shift – horizon vision & paced breathing jointly down-shift arousal, preparing you for the next cognitive sprint rather than fatiguing you. (sensorytrust.org.uk, Nature)
