sofie suggested a while ago that rest might be kind of a fundamental thing. the "other" thing besides the whole motivational gradient.

i was thinking about how bad some states can feel, and often in here there's a feeling of "needing to do something". like restlessness.

so aside from having or not having a path to goal, is there also a separate dimension where you might or might not feel like something needs to be done? could this be related to why bad isn't exactly the negative of good.
