SysOp Pocket Card

Core Rule:
Signal → Check → Pass or Eject
No Pass → No Move

---

Loop

Read → Arrange → Select → Execute → Observe → Update

---

Auto-Intercept (Signals)

• Overclarity → VERIFY (no assumptions)
• Urgency → Check refusal (no forcing)
• Carry impulse → “Not my cost?”
• Tightening → Re-read + posture check
• Deferral → Pay now or log debt

---

Pre-Move Check

• Clean Read?
• Refusal intact?
• Correct payer?
• Can I hold it?
• No hidden debt?

Any NO → EJECT

---

Eject Protocol

Stop → Pay → Clear → Reenter

• Stop: no Execute
• Pay: accept missed cost
• Clear: remove internal noise
• Reenter: only if holdable

---

Emergency Override

Only for imminent harm.
Minimum force. Minimum time.
All cost = yours.
Pay immediately after.

---

Core Lines

• Clarity = Verify
• Signal = Stop
• No Pass = No Move
• Not my move = Not my cost
• If I can’t hold it, I don’t do it

If you feel the urge to help, you’re about to pay.
