A reading forms from the record you create: the real questions you brought, the choices you saved, the state you were in, the subjects that returned, and what became clearer later.
Each piece adds context. A saved choice shows what you did. Your state shows what may have shaped it. A repeated subject shows where your attention kept returning. A look-back shows what the choice became after time passed.
Weekly readings focus on the recent pattern: what took your attention, what kind of choices you carried, what stayed unresolved, and what changed from the week before.
Monthly readings look for the wider arc: which themes kept returning, which responses shifted, which states kept shaping your choices, and what your behavior started to reveal over time.
The goal is to catch blind spots. One question can feel like a moment. A record can show when the same part of your life keeps asking, when a pattern is no longer just a mood, and when your choices are pointing toward something you have not fully named yet.
The more honest the record, the more useful the reading becomes. Shadow OS reads the evidence you build choice by choice.
