HOPE
dop + ap6 + v6
Seeking, pointed at a future held by a self you trust — acting before the evidence arrives, because the acting produces the evidence. Faith's everyday work clothes.

HOW IT IS TRAINED
Trained by kept promises to yourself. Every small commitment honored raises the trust the future is built on.
NOTE & CRAFT
Seeking, pointed forward. The engine that wants a future is factory equipment.
The trustworthy hands. Acting before the evidence arrives requires a self you have tested — hope is built by keeping promises to yourself.
Two diagnostics split them anywhere: the arrival-feel — recognition (“I was this all along”) is a note unblocked; brick-by-brick is craft — and the energy test — playing the note energizes even when hard; performing an import drains even when easy. Sheet 03 →
THE COUNTERFEIT
WISHFUL THINKING
Wanting, aimed at a future no one is building. Same dopamine as hope, uncoupled from the self who keeps promises. Nothing is even cut in to replace what's missing — what remains is seeking, unaccompanied. The image is vivid; the calendar is empty.
THE TELL — Check the calendar. Hope always leaves footprints in the schedule.
