Every moment, your nervous system builds a model of what comes next — and flags anything unexpected as potentially significant.
When the brain learns that noticing surprise leads to reward rather than threat, it begins to rewrite the association. This is prediction error training.
The koi will occasionally change speed or direction unexpectedly. Tap when you notice. Let each surprise become a small moment of calm recognition.
Watch the koi glide. Every so often it will change speed or turn unexpectedly — a prediction error.
When you notice, tap anywhere. The gentle reward that follows begins to rewire how your nervous system responds to surprise.
Based on predictive coding theory — the idea that anxiety involves the brain treating uncertainty as threat. Regular practice gently shifts that association toward safety.
