Art of War — Practice (Condensed)
Quick lens for timing + cost reduction. Use with Doctrine page when you need the “why.”
1) Read
[bomb]Direction Test|Is this pushing toward failure (conflict) or just limiting how we move (constraint)?[/bomb]
[bomb]Coherence Check|Only act when nəc̓aʔmat is ON; otherwise pause and reset posture.[/bomb]
2) Decide
Pick the cheapest win that lowers cost now; prefer no battle fixes (clarity, routine, rhythm).
3) Move (BRIG)
Brush: Shrink stakes; bounded start.
Repair: Impact→empathise→boundary→next step.
Invite: Visible ladders; bounded choices.
Govern: Limits with dignity; predictable supports.
4) Reset
[bomb]Supports Are Tools|Temporary aids; remove to return independence.[/bomb] Keep re‑entry cheap; celebrate small wins.
“I can help you, and I won’t do it for you.” • “Let’s make the next try cheaper.” • “We repair, then re‑enter.”
