Lip or Cheek Biting
Small bites, big signals inside the mouth.
This is a placeholder exhibit page. It gives the site its next layer now, while leaving the final exhibit copy open for later drafting.
What this page will become.
Mission
This placeholder will focus on the moment awareness arrives late: the cheek is already sore, the lip already rough, the edge already created.
The page should explain the self-feeding loop gently: the bite creates the next texture, and the next texture invites the next bite.
Visitor promise
The visitor should leave this exhibit with less shame, a clearer pattern name, and one next doorway into the larger Loop Hypothesis.
Planned sections
The “I noticed after it already happened” experience.
Rough spots, swelling, tissue edges, and the mouth trying to make one spot feel done.
Why this can be calm-focus behavior, not only anxiety behavior.
Next paths: edge loops, oral habits, and sensory interruption.
This exhibit should lead forward, not backward.
The wall poster brought the visitor here because they recognized a pattern. The next click should take them toward understanding: the room, the manuscript map, sensory tricks, how loops begin, or another related oral habit exhibit.
