Attention Stabilization Cycles

Introduction

A method for regulating attention through short mental cycles that prevent drift, over-focusing, or scattered awareness during gameplay.

Key Points

• Prevents cognitive drift during gameplay.
• Creates rhythmic mental refresh cycles.
• Supports consistent situational awareness.
• Reduces decision fatigue.
• Maintains balanced attention distribution.

Details

Attention stabilization cycles use short repeated mental resets to maintain consistent awareness. Rather than attempting to sustain constant high attention, players revisit small checkpoints every few moments.

These checkpoints include verifying orientation, confirming immediate surroundings, updating teammate position awareness, and checking posture. Cycling through these steps prevents attention loss and improves long-term decision stability.
