PERSON-FIRST RULE

A formulation explains a point of view; it does not become omniscient truth.

This map keeps role, access, loyalty, distress, competence, relationship, evidence, and temporary state separate. A different source set may describe the same person differently without erasing this human perspective.

PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTINUITY

Eight connected layers of the person

The layers interact, but none independently proves allegiance, danger, honesty, motive, competence, or worth.

01

Personhood

Amina wants control over who handles her papers and who speaks for her. She takes pride in memory as a craft, not a test she must pass to deserve autonomy.

Public role
Patient / Geriatric Neuropsychiatric Referral
Primary function
Patient / Witness
Current status
Medical hold with supported decision-making
02

Need & self-story

Dominant need
Retain authority over her records and decisions as cognition fluctuates
Self-narrative
Memory is a craft I practiced, not a test I must pass to remain a person.
Motivational pressure
Legacy duty
03

Fear & formative wound

Core fear
Being spoken about as absent while she is still present
Formative wound
A colleague once used a minor memory lapse to remove her from an archive she had built.
Blind spot
May overtrust older memory because it feels more coherent than the present
04

Reasoning & defense

Cognitive style
Legacy key association and historical pattern recall
Defenses
Formality, humor, selective silence, reliance on practiced routines
Evidence caution
This formulation preserves ordinary competence, relationships, preferences, contradiction, and future goals beyond crisis or operational utility.
05

Trust & relationship

Social strategy
Asks people to identify themselves and state the date before discussing records
Trust threshold
82 / 100
Loyalty pattern
Custodial
06

Pressure & state

Stress response
Misidentifies present staff through old operational templates and fills gaps with plausible narrative
Pressure pattern
Fluctuating cognition
Behavioral tell
Traces a nine-square key grid on the table before answering
07

Boundary & break

Claimed boundary
Will not release the WARD-9 archive without independent witnesses
Actual boundary
Will disclose a fragment if she believes a chart error endangers another patient
Breaking condition
Realizing her medication record was merged with another identity
08

Recovery & agency

What restores choice
Medical treatment, orientation support, familiar objects, supported decision-making, and respectful repetition
Agency rule
This character remains present, capable of refusal, and able to pursue goals after the player’s immediate objective ends.
Player obligation
Protect the distinction between helping the person and using the person.

ORDINARY LIFE & CONTINUITY

The psychological formulation sits inside a continuing life.

Amina wants control over who handles her papers and who speaks for her. She takes pride in memory as a craft, not a test she must pass to deserve autonomy.

Voice at baseline

Moderate sentences that become shorter when trust or attention narrows

When trusting

Names uncertainty and a future goal unrelated to the mission

Future goals

  • Medical treatment, orientation support, familiar objects, supported decision-making, and respectful repetition
  • Keeps a wooden key-grid puzzle beside her bed.

OPERATIONS AS PRESSURE SYSTEMS

Objectives test identity, loyalty, trust, and moral boundaries.

An operation continues after the objective through consequences for relationships, status, secrecy, grief, guilt, access, and recovery.

ACTIVE / REVIEW-BOUND

Operation MIRRORLINE

A cluster of surveillance-themed admissions reveals that Northbridge has been collapsing medical, psychiatric, evidentiary, and counterintelligence questions into one credibility score.

Stakes
Eleven people’s autonomy, urgent medical causes, real surveillance operations, and the legitimacy of GLASSHOUSE-era source handling.
Player objective
Reconstruct each case without deciding that diagnosis proves falsehood or that one anomaly proves a conspiracy.
See how this operation pressures people

URGENT

MEDICAL GHOST

Amina Ward’s fluctuating attention follows infection and a medication error, while her chart contains identity fragments from a retired operative.

Stakes
Amina’s safety, legacy cryptographic material, and contaminated identity records across Unit E.
Player objective
Correct the medical emergency, preserve autonomy, and reconstruct the PALIMPSEST chart merge without extracting information during delirium.

EVIDENCE & CASEWORK

Test claims without ranking the whole person.

Connected case files

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

RESEARCH BASIS

Design evidence, not automatic canon.

Research can support a character design choice without proving that the fictional institution’s account is true.

DISPUTED / MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

COMPETING FORMULATIONS

Other systems describe the same person differently.

The human map remains one perspective. Institutional and compartmented formulations are compared without silently replacing it.

INSTITUTIONAL

Institutional behavioral formulation

Records emphasize observable behavior, episode timing, immediate safety, and functional context. Amina Ward must not be reduced to the institution’s preferred explanation.

Institutional language can describe behavior and timing but cannot establish motive, allegiance, or the truth of a contested claim.
HUMAN

Human formulation

Amina is proud, witty, and exacting about archival custody. Her present attention fluctuates, but her values and preferences remain visible and consequential.

This formulation preserves ordinary competence, relationships, preferences, contradiction, and future goals beyond crisis or operational utility.
