The Discipline
The nervous system’s protective removal from present experience: depersonalization, derealization, absorption, and dissociative amnesia.
Within Nervous System Intelligence
Dissociation is often adaptive before it is a diagnosis. NSI names it with respect.
Where to Start
A coherent first reading path.
One cross-disciplinary foundation and three anchor articles from this collection — read in this order for a full first pass.
Foundations of Nervous System Intelligence
One cornerstone article touches this discipline.
These are cross-disciplinary NSI Foundations. They also live in the master “NSI Foundations” library and are surfaced here because they carry this collection as a tag.
Reading Trail
A three‑article path through this collection.
For a reader who does not yet know where to begin. Three articles — read in order — open the discipline the way the founding editor would open it in a first conversation.
