MUDITA
joy + oxy + ap4
Joy at other people's joy — the rarest of the four immeasurables, and the exact antidote to comparison and the loneliness of the far shore.

HOW IT IS TRAINED
Trained on easy targets first: children winning, strangers succeeding. Works upward toward rivals.
NOTE & CRAFT
The resonance itself. Joy is joy; another's joy strikes the same string yours does.
Keeping the comparison engine off. Their joy sounding your string instead of ranking it — trained one envy at a time.
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
FLATTERY
Mudita's sentence with mudita's ingredient removed — 'so happy for you', said with no string sounding. The words are identical from outside. Inside, the praise is a transaction: credit banked with the fortunate, or a hand laid on their shoulder from slightly above.
THE TELL — Say it where they can't hear you. Mudita sounds the same in an empty room. Flattery has no reason to.
