 # ThetaCog MCP
 
-**Transform your terminal into a mental palace.**
+**You have 47 browser tabs open. Give your brain a break.**
 
-Each terminal app is a cognitive room. Each room has its own browser tabs. `Cmd+Space kitty` switches to Kitty AND its associated tabs. The room remembers what you were doing.
+The million tabs problem is not a discipline problem. It is an architecture problem. Each tab is a thought. Each thought belongs to a mode. **Bunch your tabs and terminals by theme.** Switch themes, not tasks.

+**Tips:**

+- **Chrome eating your RAM?** Ask Claude: "kill my Chrome tabs that are using more than 500MB" - Claude can help you prune
 
 ## How It Works
 
-1. **Each terminal is a room** - iTerm2 = Builder, Kitty = Operator, etc.
-2. **Each room has browser tabs** - Prune them to match the room's theme
-3. **Bundled HTML dashboards** - Starting points for your tabs (customize them)
-4. **All rooms interlinked** - Switch terminals, switch contexts, stay in flow
+1. **Tabs + Terminals = Themes** - Group your 47 tabs by what mode they serve
+2. **Each terminal is a room** - iTerm2 = Builder, Kitty = Operator, etc.
+3. **Each room has its browser tabs** - Prune them to match the room's theme
+4. **Bundled HTML dashboards** - Starting points for your tab clusters (customize them)
 5. **Your AI knows where you are** - MCP tools detect your terminal and room
 
-**The terminal-to-dashboard link is symbolic.** You set up which browser tabs belong to which terminal. The system assumes you keep them pruned. This is Hebbian architecture - you train yourself by repetition.
+**The link is symbolic.** You train yourself by repetition. Kitty + Operator tabs = Operator mindset. This is Hebbian learning: neurons that fire together, wire together. After a week, switching terminals automatically shifts your brain into that mode.

+## On Goals and Emotional Muscles
+
+State management works. Goals work. Emotional discipline works. **When you have them.**
+
+But if you don't have them yet, telling yourself to "toughen up" is unlikely to work. And here is the thing most productivity advice misses:
+
+**You can never fight your own cognitive style.**
+
+That is wasted energy. Decades of it, for some of us. The person who thinks in parallel will never become the person who thinks in sequence. The person whose brain opens 47 tabs is not broken - they are capturing thoughts before they evaporate.
+
+ThetaCog is not a replacement for discipline. It is the precondition. You can not build emotional muscles in a hostile gym. First you stop the war with yourself. Then goals and habits have a chance to work.
+
+The rooms are not about avoiding discipline. They are about making discipline possible by working WITH your cognitive architecture instead of against it.
