This paper introduces the Heisenberg Refocusing Protocol (HRP): a measurement-free quantum error correction protocol derived from the Chrono-Elastic Wave operator algebra, transcribed into the quaternionic state space ℍ established by the corrected mechanics of Relational Operator Geometry. The HRP applies the six-step sequence 𝒢₀→₁, P̂ (δ), Ŝ (γ), 𝒢₁→₀, Ŝ (γ), P̂ (δ) to a quantum state in continuous-variable phase space with four-component structure: Now (Δ), Memory (Φ₁), Sequence (Φ₂), and Expectation (Φ₃). Six structural results are established. The net composite of the six-step sequence is the identity on every initial state, F∘G = 𝟙₄, where F = P̂ (δ) ∘Ŝ (γ) and G = 𝒢₀→₁∘Ŝ (γ) ∘P̂ (δ) ∘𝒢₁→₀ = F⁻¹. The period composite exhibits net gauge restoration: the torsion generated within the period is absorbed into the Sequence gauge phase Φ₂, which returns to its initial value at the period boundary. The torsion coupling κg = γδ is strictly positive and is the unique period-invariant of the protocol. Symmetric SINK-type errors, applied identically at steps 3 and 5, are cancelled exactly; symmetric PUMP-type errors, applied identically at steps 2 and 6, are cancelled exactly; and, under two explicit conditions on the protocol parameters and the initial state, the trajectory is confined for the entire period to the logical subspace Δ > 0, Φ₁ > 0. The protocol requires no syndrome measurement, no ancilla qubits, and no post-selection, and it addresses both amplitude damping (T₁) and phase damping (T₂) simultaneously. The four operators of which it is composed are implementable as native Gaussian operations on superconducting, trapped-ion, and photonic hardware, and the closure mechanism — gauge absorption rather than reflection — gives the protocol a sharper fidelity guarantee than its complex-plane predecessor, owing to the nilpotent structure of the underlying Heisenberg algebra.
