  "summary": "Coherence grows when choices, relationships, environments, and practice begin to support one another. Difference still belongs. A meaningful whole does not require identical parts.",

    "Alignment is useful when it serves life.",
    "Honest feedback matters more than perfect agreement.",

  "question": "What in my day supports what matters—and what keeps pulling against it?",
  "practice": "Choose one value and one ordinary action that expresses it. Adjust a small part of the environment to support that action.",
  "agentApplication": "Look for alignment between the traveler's stated values and practical conditions. Preserve dissent, diversity, boundaries, and effort that helps learning.",
  "interpretation": "Coherence is not conformity, and a stable pattern is not automatically healthy. Ask whom the pattern serves and what feedback it excludes."
