Curiosity Depletion

Definition

Receiving stays ready while thought grows sparse. Open holds at proper setpoint, so unfamiliar material still registers, but Mental has thinned on the other side — questions do not form easily, ideas arrive slowly, and comparison or synthesis will not hold. Untroubled is how it can read across a room; inside, the mental room has gone bare and quiet in a flat way. Propagation stays entirely within Mental: the thinning carries through Focus, Bond, and Move as well, since each capacity meets the same reduced thought. Other domains stay intact. Open alone cannot pull the rest back. Mental refills with support, and the spread eases behind it.
