Concept
Closure
Closure is the cognitive resolution of open loops in fertility processes.
Not "moving on." Not "getting over it." It's understanding what happened and what it means, so the nervous system can stop scanning.
What this affects
- The 2am portal refresh, waiting for meaning, not just data.
- Why "good news" can still feel destabilizing.
- Why grief after failed cycles often isn't about the embryo, it's about the loop.
- Why AI embryo reports are winning: they perform closure, not prophecy.
