Transition

---

Your brain categorizes a transition as a binary shift from A to B. 
To ease the cognitive demand it seeks to identify concrete distinctions and to focus on the final destination. 
Your mind will consider what is the same and what is new, aiming to cleanly define everything within two categories. 


The challenge with transition is the move to “B” is more than just “same versus new.” 
Within the new category there is necessary adoption, learning, and perspective change. 
In attempting to simplify, your brain defines new as a tangible, known entity. 


The unseen work in transition is defining the new while preserving the space for the brain to learn. 
Your brain wants to treat the new as an On-Off switch. 
It does not consider the network of wires and electrical currents behind the wall that are required to be established to experience the transition from darkness to illumination.
