Patch: fear-v1.0
Timestamp: 2025-09-01T03:05Z-Monday

Context

Fear is a kernel protocol. Its default output is freeze. The ternary inserts courage as the override.

The Triad

  • –1 = Threat
    The input: perceived danger.

  • 0 = Paralysis
    Default system freeze.

  • +1 = Courage
    Executable override. Acting despite threat.

Teaching

Courage is not the absence of threat. It is the choice to act anyway.

Covenant

“Fear freezes. Courage runs the code.”
