[Interpretation/Core] SumY

Aliases

• SumY
• diffuse shading total
• total diffuse shading

Definition

SumY is the sum of diffuse shading determinants. In core, it usually reflects vague distress, difficult-to-modulate tension, or a sense of burden that feels diffuse and less controllable.

Interpretation

• High SumY can suggest greater diffuse anxiety, emotional pressure, or a sense of overload.
• SumY increases the shading side of eb and can raise es.
• It is usually associated more with reactive or situational distress than with a complete structural formulation.
• Its meaning becomes clearer when compared with m, D, and AdjEs.

Cautions

• High SumY does not by itself prove trauma, hopelessness, or a specific diagnosis.
• SumY = 0 does not rule out distress, because other shading variables or m may be carrying the burden.
• It is best kept as a state-oriented indicator rather than a fixed trait label.
