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
- Track cumulative red flags per domain.
- Trigger forced protocol when threshold is reached.
- 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
