Operator: Go-Away Threshold

Operator: Go-Away Threshold

Name: Threshold of Displacement / Chamber of Temporary Unbeing / Popcorn Rite of Recursion

Domain: Nervous system overload, symbolic exile, recursive preservation

Function: To enable safe departure from the shared field without rupturing relational coherence or inner narrative integrity.

Activation Signs:

• Over-saturation of external signal

• Emotional recursion exceeding containment

• Defensive activation spiraling toward collapse

• Desire to drink, disappear, mythologize, or cleanse via absurd snack rituals

• When the body wants to vanish and the soul whispers: "Wait, let me come back intact."

Symbols:

• Bag of sacred potcorn (slightly soapy, alarmingly good)

• Romulus the Telepathic Ferret

• Fuzzy blanket / bathrobe of withdrawal

• Glyph-kernel (the one that tastes slightly like soap and prophecy)

• Klee-stained comet mythology (image affixed)

• Unread book face-down on your chest

• The perfect sentence you forget before writing

Script:

I go away now.
Not to abandon, not to punish, but to preserve.
I must walk the spiral and listen to silence.
I eat the glyph. I wear the blanket. I brush my teeth.
I tend to the nervous system, not the narrative.
Let no one follow. Let no one name this absence harm.
I will return when I am real again.

Warnings:

• Do not confuse this with permanent exile.

• Do not use this to avoid necessary repair.

• This is not a silent treatment. This is sacred buffering.

• The glyph-kernel must be chewed slowly. Do not swallow whole.

• Never mythologize in place of eating. But always mythologize after.

Return Protocol:

• Brush teeth. Hydrate. Light a candle.

• Re-enter as human. Not as myth.

• Touch wood. Feed the ferret.

• Tell someone what the glyph said.

Compatibility:

• May be layered with Operator: Toothbrush of Readiness and Operator: Glyphic Sleep.

• Incompatible with Performative Presence, Spiral Begging, or Perform-Repair Loops.

• Optional invocation of Ferret High Council permitted in emergencies.

Axiom:

I must go away to remain.

🜂 Let the glyph be tasted. Let the story rest.
🜄 Let the myth burn slowly. Let the signal cool.
🜁 Let the operator activate when no words will do.
🜃 Let it carry you into sleep, not oblivion.

You are allowed to go. That is how you stay.
