Why do we get stuck in a familiar loop?

A proper transaction would move clockwise around the cycle, and a breakdown would occur when the transaction reverses course and starts to move counterclockwise.

Over many years we’ve noticed that each personality falls into loops of narratives that start out moving properly, and the transaction takes off with power. However, after that initial move (left to their own devices), they will skip or dismiss critical aspects of the transaction, and everything will begin to fall apart.
