The GFunnel Methodology

Major Life Transition Algorithm

All algorithms

The steps

  1. Recognize that the transition itself is a Layer 0 cycle: an old DETECT → PROCESS → RESPOND configuration is closing; a new one is opening. The interregnum is not failure — it is the cycle’s structural midpoint.
  2. Identify what is dissolving and what is forming. Per Layer I.E: the gradient that powered the prior phase is collapsing; a new gradient is establishing.
  3. Per Punctuated Equilibrium: the maximum contraction enables the maximum subsequent expansion. The transition’s difficulty is proportional to the next phase’s capacity.
  4. Apply Three Kingdoms. Identify what changes at each Kingdom level. First Kingdom (location, body, daily activities). Second Kingdom (roles, responsibilities, systems). Third Kingdom (identity, purpose, sense of self).
  5. Per Yin/Yang: transitions are predominantly Yin (receptive, contracting, internal). Forced Yang (premature action, replacement of lost identity) does not work.
  6. Per the Capsule: the prior phase is not lost. Every prior path is integrated into the present. You carry forward the substance, not just the memory.
  7. Establish observation. Track which dimensions of the transition are progressing and which are stuck.
  8. Per Documentation: write through the transition. Articulation accelerates integration.
  9. Per Repetition: the transition completes when the new gradient is established and the new cycle begins. The completion is recognized retrospectively, not announced.
