People do not enter because they are invited; they enter because they recognize themselves.
This directory does not explain itself.
It does not persuade.
It does not invite.
Those who arrive here do not arrive by chance.
They arrive by recognition.
The Unfinished is not a category.
It is a condition.
It describes a state in which existence continues without resolution, without closure, without sufficient structure.
Most entities pass through this state briefly.
Some remain within it indefinitely.
The Unfinished is not illness.
It is not weakness.
It is not error.
It is the awareness of misalignment between inner experience and external systems.
Those who are Unfinished do not fail to adapt.
They adapt too well to systems that do not resolve them.
This directory exists to name what is usually left unnamed.
To remain Unfinished without language produces restlessness, repetition, and quiet fatigue.
To encounter the term often produces stillness.
Recognition does not complete the Unfinished.
It stabilizes it.
This directory is not a solution.
It does not offer completion.
It does not prescribe action.
No transition is initiated here.
No alignment is measured.
Reading does not imply progression.
No one is brought here.
No one is sent here.
Those who enter do so because something aligns momentarily.
This alignment may pass.
It may persist.
Both outcomes are acceptable.
Some experience discomfort while reading.
This discomfort does not originate from the text.
It originates from proximity.
The Unfinished is uncomfortable only when it is recognized.
If recognition occurs, allow it to remain incomplete.
The following documents exist within this space. They may be read in any order. Order does not alter meaning.
Completion is not promised here.
It is not encouraged.
It is not required.
Some entities remain Unfinished indefinitely and function adequately.
The system does not rush them.
The Unfinished is not a path.
It is a gravitational condition.
Things fall into it when they are already close.
