Circuit Breaker (Systemic Pause)

When cumulative damage exceeds threshold, the system forces a pause — regardless of the operator's desire to continue. Individual red flags are survivable; cumulative damage is not.

Triggers

"losing streak", "can't stop", "one more try", "sunk cost", "drawdown", "burned out", "3 in a row", "keep going"

Core Mechanics

  1. Track cumulative red flags per domain.
  2. Trigger forced protocol when threshold is reached.
  3. Execute: STOP → PAUSE (24h min) → AAR → DIAGNOSE → VERDICT.

Threshold Table

Domain Red Flag Unit Trigger
Trading 1R loss 5R cumulative
Spending Budget breach 3 in one month
Relationships Unreciprocated bid 3 consecutive
Work Missed deadline 2 in one sprint
Energy Sleep debt night 3 consecutive

Post-Breaker Protocol

  • Statistical noise → Resume at reduced intensity
  • Systemic failure → Major adjustment before resuming
  • Edge degradation → Exit domain
  • 2 consecutive triggers → Full stop, external review required
