Frustration is the Generator's compass. It surfaces when energy has been committed to something that doesn't align with what the body actually wants to respond to, typically because the mind decided first, or because an opportunity was accepted out of obligation rather than genuine pull. The frustration isn't anger or disappointment; it's a specific, restless irritation that builds when the Generator is working against their own responsiveness.
