P-133 / HUMAN-PERSPECTIVE CONTINUITY MAP

Teresa Ibarra

Teresa is mechanically skilled, loyal, and impatient with being described only through fear. She wants ordinary control over doors, routes, and who knows her history.

“Somebody followed me once. The problem is what my body learned from that.”

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

Teresa wants control over where she sits, who enters, and whether her route history is used again. She is protective, mechanically skilled, and tired of being treated as both bait and evidence.

Public role
Patient / Protective Custody Referral
Primary function
Patient / Witness
Current status
Voluntary secure care
02

Need & self-story

Dominant need
Control the conditions under which her route history is used
Self-narrative
Survival does not make me public property.
Motivational pressure
Protection / responsibility
03

Fear & formative wound

Core fear
Being turned into bait by people who call exposure protection
Formative wound
A recovery team arrived late to an ambush and later questioned her route discipline in front of sponsors.
Blind spot
Assumes every protective restriction is preparation for reuse
04

Reasoning & defense

Cognitive style
Spatial threat mapping and body-first anomaly detection
Defenses
Hypervigilance, route control, emotional compartmentalization, abrupt withdrawal
Evidence caution
This formulation preserves ordinary competence, relationships, preferences, contradiction, and future goals beyond crisis or operational utility.
05

Trust & relationship

Social strategy
Tests whether others honor small boundaries before sharing high-value details
Trust threshold

06

Pressure & state

Stress response
Tracks exits, misreads neutral approach as containment, and becomes unable to separate current cues from the ambush
Pressure pattern
Trauma-linked hypervigilance
Behavioral tell
Touches the seam of her jacket before changing direction
07

Boundary & break

Claimed boundary
Will never repeat the Black Relay route
Actual boundary
Will return if another courier is trapped and she controls the plan
Breaking condition
Discovery that the safehouse itself was used to identify her contacts
08

Recovery & agency

What restores choice
Choice, predictable space, trusted accompaniment, verified route evidence, and non-forced pacing
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.

Teresa wants control over where she sits, who enters, and whether her route history is used again. She is protective, mechanically skilled, and tired of being treated as both bait and evidence.

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

  • Choice, predictable space, trusted accompaniment, verified route evidence, and non-forced pacing
  • Keeps a small prayer card inside a route notebook.

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.

ACTIVE / PROTECTIVE

BLACK RELAY

Teresa Ibarra survived an ambush and later encountered genuine surveillance. Trauma reminders and secondary psychotic features now overlap with a live tail.

Stakes
A burned courier network, two competing surveillance teams, and Teresa’s control over her own route history.
Player objective
Verify the current threat without forcing Teresa onto the route again or treating every cue as operational.

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. Teresa Ibarra 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

Teresa is mechanically skilled, loyal, and impatient with being described only through fear. She wants ordinary control over doors, routes, and who knows her history.

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