Balance of Power (merged)

Status: Merged into three-mental-processes.md. This file is a pointer, not a standalone visual guide.

Why merged

Balance of Power is Bassham's named diagnostic in Ch 4 for the equilibrium state among the three Mental Processes — but the Three Mental Processes guide already encodes this directly via the equilateral-circle composition, the three level scale-balance plates, and the equal-size rendering of the three rings. A separate Balance of Power image would duplicate the master-diagram's central visual statement.

Where to find it

• Visual: three-mental-processes-prompt.md — the equilateral arrangement, the three equal-size rings, and the scale-balance motif beneath.
• Conceptual prose: three-mental-processes.md § Power signature ("balanced growth") and § Visual motifs.

Specific aspect Ch 4 contributes

Ch 4's contribution is the named diagnostic — Bassham gives the in-balance state a name ("Balance of Power") and discusses how out-of-balance Self-Image regulates against breakthroughs. The Three Mental Processes visual already carries the in-balance state; an out-of-balance variant could optionally be rendered later as a chapter image for Ch 4 (rings of unequal size, scale tilted) but does not warrant its own concept-character guide.

Chapter appearances

• Ch 3 — Three Mental Processes (introduces the framework)
• Ch 4 — Balance of Power (names the equilibrium state; merged into Three Mental Processes guide)

Confidence

High — the merge is conceptually clean.
