Structured procedure for expanding attention from focused single-domain mode to panoramic multi-domain awareness. The cognitive transition from "focused attention on one problem" to "unfocused attention encompassing all relevant domains simultaneously." Like Baars' Global Workspace — consciousness as broadcast rather than spotlight. Use after meditation has cleared noise, when a problem spans multiple domains that need to be perceived together, when single-domain analysis keeps missing…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Expand Awareness

Expand attention from single-domain focus to panoramic multi-domain awareness. Where `meditate` clears noise to sharpen focus, and `observe` watches one thing closely, expand-awareness deliberately widens the aperture to hold all relevant domains in view simultaneously — not analyzing any one of them, but perceiving all of them at once.

Three traditions inform this practice. Baars' Global Workspace Theory models consciousness as a broadcast — once information enters the global workspace, it becomes available to all cognitive processes simultaneously rather than being processed in one specialist module. The dzogchen concept of rigpa describes open, unfocused awareness that perceives the whole field without fixating on any part of it. And jazz ensemble listening requires each musician to hear all players at once — not tracking one instrument then another, but holding the entire sound field so that their own contribution fits the whole.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/expand-awareness@sha256:6278cf9b035dbdb8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
