How Aftercurrent works
How body context changes dream interpretation
The same dream can read differently depending on whether the body was depleted, overstimulated, or settling after stress.

What Aftercurrent means by measured, inferred, and written
A simple way to tell what was measured directly, what Aftercurrent is noticing over time, and what is written as guidance.
Measured
Measured means direct inputs such as sleep-related device context, timing data, or scores Aftercurrent calculates directly.
Measured does not mean perfect certainty. It means the source is clear.
Inferred
Inferred means Aftercurrent noticed a pattern from repeated inputs, identity structure, or longer-term context.
That can be useful because a person’s life is bigger than any one data point, but it should still stay separate from direct measurement.
Written
Written means narrative reflection or generated explanation. It can be personally useful without pretending to be the same thing as a score, a measurement, or a raw input stream.
Aftercurrent keeps these categories separate because the moment a written explanation starts pretending to be a hard fact, the trust is gone.

Method
Archetype vs Disposition vs Chronotype
The cleanest way to separate your steadier pattern, today’s shift, and timing context.
