State — Balanced
Definition
Balanced is the target state for any archetype’s expression — the configuration in which an archetype’s collapse pattern is neither over-expressed (Too Much) nor under-expressed (Too Little) nor hidden (Unacknowledged). Balance is not stasis; it is dynamic equilibrium under continuous P/R alternation.
Each archetype has its own characterization of balance (see each archetype’s collapse_states.balanced field). Compassion balanced = ethical intimacy. Drive balanced = directed passion. Order balanced = clear structure.
