READ FIRST
----------
This file enumerates subjective risks and automatic stop rules for single-operator sessions.
Not medical advice. Do not replicate. Several sections are [REDACTED] for safety and sanity.

RISK CATEGORIES (non-exhaustive)
--------------------------------
Physiological
  – dizziness, nausea, head pressure
  – photophobia / afterimages (especially under flicker)
  – transient tinnitus / “air pressure” sensation

Perceptual / Cognitive
  – intrusive “music” or verbal fragments
  – time discontinuities / memory gaps
  – depersonalization / derealization
  – pareidolia in noise and shadow

Environmental / Equipment
  – thermal runaway (workstation)
  – excessive audio levels (headphones)
  – visual fatigue under poor lighting

AUTOMATIC KILL CONDITIONS (software)
------------------------------------
• KILL_AFTER (KA) expires → immediate stop.
• Phase-lock unlock storm detected → step back schedule or stop.
• Identity Anchor desync beyond tolerance → stop or reduce BW/G.
• Loop stall detected by watchdog → stop.

OPERATOR STOP RULES (subjective)
--------------------------------
Stop immediately if ANY of the following occur:
  – sustained nausea or vertigo
  – inability to type or read console coherently
  – bright-field persistence after eyes closed
  – sense of “lost time” or sudden scene change
  – escalating fear without clear source

EMERGENCY PROCEDURE (single-operator)
-------------------------------------
1) Power down workstation; remove headphones; sit.
2) Eyes closed; slow breathing; lights on steady (no flicker).
3) Water; low-stim environment; document only after baseline returns.
4) Sleep ≥ 8h before any decision to continue.

REDUCTIONS (preventive)
-----------------------
• Keep BW low and ramp slow. Tomorrow exists.
• Keep IA = TRUE.
• Do not stack late-night sessions.
• Maintain steady ambient light; no high-contrast strobing.
• Keep volumes modest; no isochronic/binaural experiments.

DISCLAIMER
----------
Archive only. The safest parameter is zero. If the field is real, it will still be
real tomorrow. If the self is a lock, yanking harder unfastens it.
