The Systemic Explanation: In control systems engineering, "oscillation" occurs when a system continuously overcorrects, swinging wildly between extremes without ever finding equilibrium. When you lack a stable centre ("Ground"), you operate like an undamped pendulum. The anxiety of passive disengagement (Drift) eventually forces you into a panic of hyper-performance (Force), which inevitably leads to a crash, sending you back to Drift. Breaking this cycle requires a "dampener"—a grounding mechanism that absorbs the chaotic kinetic energy and settles the system into a stable, sustainable third state.
