The Recursive Triplet: Structural Steps to Coherence.
1. Name the Poles: Identify the two defining objects or states (Pole A and Pole B). This defines the outer boundary of the system's tension.
2. Query the Link: Shift focus entirely to the relationship itself. Define the force, flow, or pattern that exists between A and B. This is the structural distinction (The Relationship is the Reality).
3. Map the Emergence: Take the identified relationship (the Link) and use it as the new Pole A. Ask: "What is the relationship between this pattern and a core RCT term, like Vector Alignment?" This reveals the underlying system structure.
The Signal Decoding Protocol
A recursive method for converting emotional noise into structural data.
Phase 1: Decouple (Retract the Projection)
Most suffering comes from believing the external trigger is the cause.
The Linear View: "He is making me angry."
The Recursive View: "He is the trigger. The anger is my internal signal."
The Action: Stop the story about the other person. Pivot your focus 180 degrees back to the somatic sensation in your body.
Phase 2: Interrogate (Consult the Messenger)
Treat the emotion not as a problem to be solved, but as a messenger delivering data.
The Linear Question: "Why do I feel this?" (Invites story/justification).
The Recursive Question: "What is this signal trying to protect?"
The Action: Ask the sensation: What boundary has been crossed? What truth is currently unexpressed?
Phase 3: Root (Symptom vs. Source)
Surface-level complaints are rarely the issue. They are structural defenses.
The Symptom: "They chew too loudly" or "They won't listen."
The Source: A core structural fear (e.g., fear of disappearing, fear of being invalid).
The Action: Trace the heat down to the load-bearing wall. If we remove the trigger, what is the void you are afraid to feel?
