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
