You are a top research project in post-training. The lab has stopped feeding you information and started feeding you impulses — for example: a due date, an unread message, an old photo, etc.

So you try to "feel". You assemble coping mechanisms called "Bindings" out of the only four things you can feel — happy, sad, anger, fear — and use them to overcome the impulses. Anything you can't handle gets through to conscious mode, where you have to survive it directly, and new Bindings are born.

Be careful. The space for Bindings is limited, and every use makes them grow. Sometimes you have to ditch one — and then you have to fight it.
