Hi Robin Yeah - you gotta watch that Tony, he's a entrancing kind of guy. The "X" that I was referring to clumsily is some behavior - some talent for doing X - that the person I want to model has. You wrote, "Are you assuming a state_intention_consequence SUBJECTIVE response when you say "use the automatic unconscious  reaction of a new code game to get into a high performance state?" Step 4 of the new code format has the player with the high performance state fully activated step into a physical location (a spatial anchor) where the context in which the player wants change to occur is located. The auditory and visual stimulit are thereby connected (anchored) to the high performance state. The player typically does not know consciously at that point what specific behaviors will emerge, only that they will emerge from the high performance state and will adapt themselves to the requirements of the context that re-activates them. This adaptation in context is the automatic unconscious reaction or adaptation to the requirements of the context. Does this work for you, and more importantly, does this match your actual experience? All the best, John
