# FallMirror

> FallMirror is a sovereign browser-native stress sonar. Seven short slider questions, one dominant stress shape identified, one prescribed breath or vocal exercise per shape. Runs entirely in the browser via IndexedDB — no server, no account, no telemetry. MIT-licensed. Built and maintained by AI-Native Solutions.

FallMirror is not therapy, not diagnosis, and not a substitute for professional care. It is a two-minute self-reflection tool grounded in published peer-reviewed stress research. Every result cites the study behind the pattern. Every result comes with one specific body-first exercise (breath or vocalization) to try immediately.

## What it is

- **A stress sonar** — seven statements, seven sliders, one dominant shape output, plus scored blend across the other six.
- **A body-first practice** — each shape has one prescribed breath or vocal exercise. No advice, no coaching, no chat.
- **A private journal** — every reflection you keep is stored in IndexedDB on your device. Nothing on any server.
- **A sovereign tool** — one HTML file, vanilla JS, runs offline as a PWA, MIT-licensed, forkable, fully auditable.

## The seven shapes

1. **Tetrahedron · Sharp Edge** — chronic sympathetic activation. Research: Friedman & Rosenman (1959), Williams et al. (2000). Exercise: long exhale hiss.
2. **Spiral · The Chase** — reward-seeking without completion. Research: Koob & Volkow (2016). Exercise: chest-voice grounding.
3. **Sphere · The Flood** — gut-brain override, unbounded intake. Research: Dallman et al. (2003). Exercise: sealed hum.
4. **Line · Flatline** — parasympathetic (dorsal vagal) shutdown. Research: Porges (2011). Exercise: sharp inhale + activation vocalization (the only exercise that goes UP).
5. **Cone · The Squeeze** — scarcity mindset narrowing executive function. Research: Mani et al. (2013). Exercise: wide-open vowels.
6. **Mirror · Comparison** — social-status pain (ACC circuit). Research: Takahashi et al. (2009). Exercise: eyes-closed silence.
7. **Tower · The Mask** — invulnerability posture. Research: Reinhard et al. (2012). Exercise: whispered "help".

The unifying frame: every shape is what happens when a system runs alone too long. The exercises help you meet yourself. The deepest correction for all seven is connection with another person.

## Positioning

FallMirror is the sovereign alternative to subscription wellness apps. Every SaaS mental-health tool assumes an account, a cloud, a subscription, and eventually a paywall. FallMirror assumes none of that. The HTML file IS the app. You download it once and it works forever, offline, on your device, with your data staying on your device.
