Nail Biting
A hand-to-mouth loop where the edge becomes the target.
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 connect fingers, mouth, edges, and completion.
The nail page should be especially recognizable: hidden hands, rough edges, the “just-right” bite, and the tiny feeling of done.
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
Fingertips find the edge; the mouth resolves it.
The brain is not chasing destruction. It is chasing completion.
Why nail biting can migrate to cuticles, lips, pens, or other edge targets.
Next paths: edge loops, BFRBs, and the larger loop circuit.
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.
