What is Delusional, superpower transition model?

It’s like turning from being a regular kid into someone with superpowers, but not all at once, it happens in steps, like climbing stairs.

Imagine you have a toy robot that can only walk on the floor. One day, it starts floating, still not flying, just floating. That's like the first step of a delusional, superpower transition model. You're still mostly normal, but something amazing is happening around you.

The Steps of Becoming Super

  1. At first, you might think everyone else can see what’s happening, maybe they’re just pretending not to notice.
  2. Then, you start seeing things others don’t, like the robot floating when no one else does.
  3. Soon, you believe it so strongly that you act like it's true for everyone, even if it's only true for you.

It’s like when you're wearing a funny hat and think everyone is wearing one too. You’re not wrong, just seeing the world in a special way!
