Developmental Compressor
Applies bounded, generative pressure so a more capable version can emerge.
Profile: 8/10
Open roleMembrane Integrity
Containment
Containment lets aliveness become usable. The ideal membrane is permeable, not leaking.
Diagnostic question
Can the person remain whole while affected?
The vessel side of the membrane: metabolizing intensity, keeping boundaries, and not flooding the room.
High
Can feel deeply, keep boundaries, metabolize intensity, and stay whole without requiring rescue.
Low
Leaky, diffuse, merged, chaotic, or emotionally contagious in the bad way.
Shadow
If overdone or unpaired with receptivity, containment can become sealing.
Practices
How this signal trains.
- Feel the intensity without making everyone else carry it.
- Name what belongs to you and what belongs to the field.
- Practice repair after rupture instead of collapse or shutdown.
Role resonance
Roles where this signal often runs high.
Shadow involvement
Failure modes that involve this dimension.
Leaker
High Receptivity + Low Containment
Openness without vessel. Everyone else must metabolize me.
Sealed One
Low Receptivity + High/Variable Containment
Vessel without contact. Nothing gets in. Nothing real gets out.
