      AGENT INTEL: The "Save State" Monitor Card

      SAVE THIS FOR YOURSELF AS A REMINDER

      This is your tactical reminder. Copy, print, or transcribe this onto a card and fix it to the side of your primary monitor. It serves as a visual "circuit breaker" to prevent a biological hijack when a human enters your workspace.

      S0P002 | THE SAVE STATE PROTOCOL STATUS: Logic Saved. Human Witnessed. Connection Restored.

      SECURE THE LOGIC (Ctrl+S) Physically press the keys. This is your "mental bookmark." The machine now holds the data so your brain doesn't have to.

      CALM THE BIOLOGY (The Vagal Brake) Feet flat. Shoulders down. Exhale for four seconds. Flush the cortisol out of your system before you speak.

      SHIFT THE VECTOR (The 180° Pivot) Physically turn your body. If you are facing the screen, you are in "Processor Mode." If you face the person, you are in "Partner Mode."

      RE-CENTRE THE MISSION Internal Check: “Am I optimising for the machine or the human?”

      OPEN THE CHANNEL "I'm here. I’ve saved my work. Tell me what's happening."

      Why this works: The Cognitive Handover By performing a physical action (Ctrl+S), you are manually offloading the "Cognitive Load" from your Prefrontal Cortex. This reduces the internal "friction" that causes the irritability (the snap). The physical 180-degree turn breaks the visual "loop" of the monitor's blue light, allowing your brain to switch from Task-Positive Network (focusing on the code) to the Default Mode Network (focusing on the relationship).

      You are not merely "stopping work"; you are honouring the Ruach (the breath/spirit) of the person standing before you. You are choosing the Yellow Light (the human) over the Blue Light (the machine).
