Capacity is Directly Proportional to Presence under Load.

A short axiomatic breakdown, encoded in equation form, describing one of the primary mechanisms of action in life.

Capacity (what we can take on and manage) is directly proportional to the amount of Presence we can maintain in relation to Load (stress, anxiety, distraction, resistance, etc.).

When Presence is sustained under Load, Capacity increases. By understanding and training this relationship, we gain a practical method for deliberately expanding Capacity within any situation.

This applies across all domains of human performance: taking on more projects, enduring stress, managing pressure, acquiring skills, regulating the nervous system, or lifting heavier objects. In each case, Capacity is not independent — it emerges from Presence applied against Load.

With this model, growth becomes trainable rather than abstract. The equation provides a concrete system that can be applied wherever Load exists.
