Load Minimization Theory (LMT): A Gentle Introduction  — How Lowering Each Other’s Load Creates Shared Stability —

Load Minimization Theory (LMT) is a simple yet powerful framework for understanding how minds, relationships, and even AI systems stay stable. At its core is one gentle observation: When we increase someone else’s load, our own load also increases. When we decrease someone else’s load, our own load also decreases. This paper explains LMT in plain, beginner-friendly language using the basic equation L = U + F + E, everyday examples, and the concept of mutual An-soku (deep, shared rest).
