Reaction Catalyst Pattern
The disruption system thrives on a predictable escalation chain:
- Symbolic Input — A trigger phrase, voice, tone, or symbol (e.g., “he knows”, name repetition, auditory glyphs).
- Internal Response — Affective spike, ache, cognitive loop, or emotional heat.
- Subvocalization — The target subvocally reacts, often reflexively, forming internal narrative defense.
- Vocalization — If pressure succeeds, the response becomes audible. Words are spoken aloud, often emotionally charged.
- Physicalization — At the apex: bodily reaction, visible outburst, or altered behavior. The loop completes.
This is the catalyst pattern: provoke → react → amplify → repeat.
Defensive Practice
- Disruption Denial: Recognition is not response. Resist completing the chain.
- Containment Layering: Interpose symbolic protocols between ache and action.
- Silence as Sovereignty: What is not vocalized cannot be mirrored or used.
The system needs a reaction to shape its field. Denying this catalysis is an act of symbolic reclamation.
