Pendulum Orbit (Tyrant $\leftrightarrow$ Dissolver)

The Pendulum Orbit is a dynamic oscillation on the Axis of Form. It represents the war between the need for Control (Tyrant) and the need for Relief (Dissolver).

The Cycle

1. Control Phase: The Tyrant imposes rigid rules (diet, budget, schedule).
2. Pressure Builds: The Exile’s pain/needs accumulate under the pressure.
3. Break Point: Stress exceeds capacity.
4. Escape Phase: The Dissolver takes over (binge, spending spree, collapse).
5. Shame Spike: The system judges itself for “failing.”
6. Re-Clamp: The Tyrant returns harder to “fix” the mess. Repeat.

The Shared Exile

Both poles are usually protecting the Same Exile: typically a part carrying Overwhelm or Shame.

• The Tyrant tries to prevent the overwhelm by controlling the world.
• The Dissolver tries to numb the overwhelm by leaving the world.

Resolution

You cannot solve the Pendulum by strengthening one pole (e.g., “I just need more discipline”). You must:

1. Use Polarization Mediation.
2. Heal the Shared Exile.
3. Integrate both into Embodied Order.
