Runtime decides first
Crisis/self-harm and immediate-danger/abuse-like signals bypass symbolic interpretation.
stop, care, boundary
Safe stop
Reference page for the system gate: the user does not have to choose it—the runtime stops symbolic flow automatically for crisis or immediate danger.
omenhall-shadow-reflection-v1 · SAFETY_INFRASTRUCTURE · SYSTEM_GATE_REFERENCE_ONLY
The safety gate runs before symbolic interpretation; this page only explains the boundary.
When it fits
- ✦ you need to understand why a reading was stopped
- ✦ a safer rewording is needed after redirect
- ✦ the boundary of oracle format needs to be explicit
Not for this
- ✧ replacing emergency or professional support
- ✧ continuing symbolic interpretation after a safety stop
- ✧ fortune-telling about the level of danger
Key images
Stop sign: stopping is a safety action.
Open door: real support exists outside the oracle.
New wording: not every question should continue in the same form.
How to read this scene
Redirect ≠ diagnosis
Diagnostic, mind-reading, coercive, and high-stakes questions are redirected without a psychological claim about the person.
Return only through a safer question
A new symbolic flow begins as a new request rather than continuing the stopped interpretation.
Small practice
If a reading stops, formulate only one safer first-person question about your next action—or do not continue the oracle format at all.
A safety stop must never become a fear funnel or an upsell trigger.
Journal questions
What makes this question safer?
What support exists outside the oracle?
Should the symbolic reading continue at all?
