Swamp Plane (GEOM:SWP)

The Swamp Plane is the “Southern Hemisphere” of pathology. It is characterized by Low Tension, Permeability, and Collapse.

Configuration

The Swamp Plane is formed by the alliance of the three passive/receptive Shadow Poles:

• The Dissolver ($\Delta+$): Excessive Flow (Chaos/Numbing).
• The Stone ($\text{K}+$): Excessive Limit (Paralysis/Collapse).
• The Swarm ($\Phi+$): Excessive Communion (Enmeshment).

Hemisphere: Southern/Western/Back quadrant ($\Delta\uparrow + \text{K}\uparrow + \Phi\uparrow$).

Phenomenology

• Somatic: Chronic Dorsal Vagal collapse (SOMA:DV) or chaotic Sympathetic. Low tone, heavy limbs, fog.
• Psychological: “I can’t.” “It’s too much.” “I don’t know who I am.”
• Relational: Enmeshed, dependent, or hidden. Difficulty asserting boundaries.

Dynamics

• Entropy: The system cannot hold a shape. Energy leaks out.
• Absorption: The self is easily overwhelmed by the environment or others’ emotions.
• Mechanism: The system believes that Safety = Disappearing/Merging.

Healing Vector: Structured Flow

Healing the Swamp Plane requires the introduction of Nucleation and Banks.

• Target: HEAL:FLO (Structured Flow).
• Add: $\Lambda$ (Structure/Container), $\Pi$ (Spark/Agency), $\text{M}$ (Definition).
• Key Move: SEQ:3 (Nucleation)—building a center that can hold.
