The envelope model
Paciva uses a simple idea: every day has a limited container. The goal isn’t to empty it — it’s to stay within it.
Think container, not fuel
Energy isn’t a battery that always refills. Some days start smaller. Some days leak. Paciva treats capacity as something to protect, not consume.
Why “remaining” isn’t permission
Seeing capacity left doesn’t mean you should use it. It’s information — not encouragement. Quiet days are valid outcomes.
State first, number second
Numbers help compare days. States help you feel where you are.
States are primary
Steady, okay, strained, fragile — these are meant to be intuitive. They’re how Paciva speaks to you.
Numbers are references
The number is your personal scale. It has no unit, no universal meaning, and no target.
