The Recovery Sequence (R₁–R₂–R₃) — Emotional Cybernetics Technical Monograph

This monograph introduces the Recovery Sequence (R₁–R₂–R₃), a three-step internal reset loop that mirrors the natural decay curve of emotional energy: Signal → Noise → Decay → Neutral → Alignment → Action. R₁ (Field Clearing) involves letting emotional static settle before interpretation. R₂ (Perception Realignment) recalibrates perception by removing projection, bias, and magnification. R₃ (Energy Redeployment) directs restored system energy toward the correct next action, breaking emotional loops permanently. The sequence formalizes what resilient systems do intuitively, distinguishing emotional intelligence from emotional engineering.
