My 30-day protocol report — no algorithmic feeds

Day 0: Standing Δ +43. Working Δ +48. Sustained attention subscale: 14th percentile.

The protocol was simple: no algorithmic feeds for 30 days. No TikTok, no Instagram Explore, no YouTube recommendations, no Twitter timeline. I kept messaging apps and email. I replaced the scroll time with physical books and the Society's prescribed Études.

Day 14: The restlessness peaked around day 5–7 and then subsided. By day 14 I could read for 40 minutes without reaching for my phone. My Working Δ was +53.

Day 30: Standing Δ moved to +47 at my monthly Diagnostic. The sustained attention subscale gained 8 percentile points. Working Δ was +55.

The gap between Working Δ and Standing Δ is the endurance deficit. Mine went from 5 to 8 — which means my short-session performance improved faster than my sustained performance. The protocol worked, but the endurance problem is deeper than 30 days.

I am continuing.

The endurance gap widening even as both numbers improve is the key insight here. Short-session performance improves faster than sustained performance. This is exactly what the Working Δ / Standing Δ split is designed to surface.

Did you supplement with any Recital-length sessions during the 30 days?

Two per week, 30 minutes each, sustained attention only. The protocol improvement was largely driven by the elimination of algorithmic content, not by additional training volume.
