trap
Mental Locking
Definition
A trap where locked attention meets an empty cognitive field — the mind fixates on its own fog, and each attempt to penetrate the haze confirms there is nothing there to grip, which only intensifies the search. Effort scales up against a surface it cannot find purchase on.
