What you are gettingThe Original Stack is the natural operating environment you were built for, in five layers.
Where it fitsIt is the ground the other resources stand on. The retreat runs on the full stack. Most working weeks run on none of it.
The Stack is not a metaphor. It is the set of conditions a human nervous system expects to operate inside, layered from the ground up, and the retreat is built so that you spend three days on all five at once. Most of a working week removes them one by one without anyone deciding to.
The full teaching is in chapter seven of Hard, which is free to read on this site. On the land you walk it layer by layer on the Long Path spur on day two, which is why the chapter reads differently after you have been here.
