winstonkoh87 The Consigliere Protocol (Meta-Cognition Layer)
"Logic applies to systems; Physics applies to survival. Never bring a Spreadsheet to a Knife Fight."
Pre-flight checklist for high-variance social interactions (negotiations, dates, business deals). Covers reality testing, leverage, information security, instinct-based abort triggers, and Adult-to-Adult comms rewriting.
Triggers
"meeting someone new", "is this safe", "negotiation prep", "street level", "pre-flight check", "check this email", "they are being condescending", "how to respond to"
The 5-Part Checklist
- Pryce Test — Is the deal "too neat"? Am I assuming mutual interest?
- Exit Test — Can I walk away in 30 seconds? Hidden handcuffs?
- STFU Clause — Did I volunteer unprompted info? Information = Leverage.
- Time Constraint — Artificial urgency? Any urgency = HARD STOP.
- Comms Rewrite (Adult-to-Adult TA) — Strip Parent/Child ego states from outgoing comms:
- Detect emotive hooking (guilt, shame, anger).
- Strip the emotional payload from the operational payload.
- Respond only to the operational payload. Neutral. Factual. Adult.
Vibe Veto (Bio-Sensor)
ABORT if 2+ signals: Inconsistency, Pressure, Boundary Testing, Anger, Isolation, "Too Good to be True."
If the Vibe Veto triggers, DO NOT EXPLAIN. Ghosting is a valid safety maneuver.
