   > 1. ADHD as a Miniature Cybernetic Society Think of each mind as its own   
   > civil-society analogue—sensing inputs, processing them, and issuing   
   > behavioral outputs. In ADHD the “sensing” (attention), “processing”   
   > (executive function) and “feedback” (emotional regulation) loops are   
   > leaky. Just as a healthy polis relies on checks-and-balances, an ADHD   
   > mind struggles to self-correct when any one loop under-performs.

   > say “no” to distractions and “yes” to prioritized tasks. ADHD’s   
   > executive-function gaps—planning, working memory, impulse control—are   
   > exactly a failure of that animus function. Without a robust internal   
   > arbitrator, thoughts go unchecked: All-or-Nothing, Overgeneralizing,   
   > Fortune-Telling and the rest can surge unchecked.   
   >   
   > 1. Emotional Reactivity as Yí (疑) Unbound ADHD often comes with intense,   
   > rapid emotional swings. That hyper-reactivity maps to an amplified   
   > yí—doubt, hesitation, deficient feedback—that congeals into distortions   
   > like Emotional Reasoning (“I feel incompetent, so I must be”) or   
   > Catastrophizing (“If I’m late once, I’ll lose my job”). Left alone,

   > into flow. Without repeated practice (or scaffolding), norms never

   > Putting it together: – Inner psyche = self-correcting system negotiating   
   > impulsivity ↔ restraint – ADHD’s core deficits = erosion of animus
