The '''Psi Tether''' is a paired-operator [[Psi-Tech]] module that binds two [[HelmKit]] Mk1+ units into a low-bandwidth coherence-sharing link for the duration of a defined session. Engineering-honestly, it is a synchronized HRV-coherence biofeedback channel between two operators, mediated by the [[Psi Mesh]]; doctrinally, it is the technological reflection of the [[Tho'ra Clan]]'s pair-bond practice — two operators ''with their gear coupled'' staying in coordinated state through a high-stress evolution.

== Overview ==

A Tether session, in protocol:

* Two operators consent and pair their HelmKits via short-range NFC + Resonant-Card co-signature.
* The Tether bonds their [[Psi Stabilizer]] coherence channels; each operator's anchor signal is informed by both biosignals.
* Tether-active is visibly indicated to both operators (HUD ring color, audible tone).
* Either operator can break the Tether instantly; the lanyard breaks both ends simultaneously.

Tether use cases: [[Resonant Pipeline]] paired contact, high-stress operator rotation, mentor–trainee field exercises, joint analysis seats at [[StarCom]].

== Theoretical Basis ==

* {{Psi-claim|status=PROVISIONAL|cites=[[Heart Rate Variability and Psi]]}} HRV-coherence biofeedback works in single-operator mode (the [[Psi Stabilizer]] base layer). Sharing biosignals between consenting people improves joint regulation in clinical co-regulation studies.
* {{Psi-claim|status=TESTABLE|cites=[[Resonant Neurobiology]]}} Two operators using a Tether maintain joint coherence longer under stress than two operators with independent Stabilizers. Pre-registered, falsifiable.
* {{Psi-claim|status=SPECULATIVE|cites=[[Psi Field]]}} The Tether also couples operator [[Psi Field]] states beyond what biosignal-sharing alone accounts for. This is the Tho'ra-doctrinal layer; engineering utility does not depend on it.

== Subsystems and BOM ==

=== Mk0 (target ≤ \$10 / pair) ===

Operators sit shoulder-to-shoulder with synchronized [[Psi Stabilizer]] Mk0 anchor practice — verbal pacing, shared breath count. No hardware coupling. Demonstrates the practice; obviously limited.

=== Mk1 (per HelmKit, adds ≤ \$80) ===

* Tether software stack — included with HelmKit Mk1 firmware
* nRF52840 short-range secure pairing — already in HelmKit Mk1
* [[Psi Mesh]] frame format for Tether traffic — software
* Per-operator key co-signing logic — software
* HUD ring color change for tether-active — firmware
* Bone-conduction tether-tone — already in HelmKit Mk1
* Per-session cryptographic key (Diffie-Hellman over Resonant Cards) — software

The Mk1 is mostly software riding on HelmKit Mk1 hardware. Per-pair hardware adds ≈\$0.

=== Mk2 / Mk3 ===

Mk2: 3+ operator tether ("Tether Mesh"); shared marker channel on [[Focus Lens]]; safety-supervised joint emission caps. Mk3: integration with [[Resonant Pipeline]] and [[Star Seer]] live records; documented tether topology preserved in session records.

== Build Notes ==

* '''Per-session keys.''' Each Tether session uses an ephemeral keypair derived at pair time; no long-lived shared secrets.
* '''Both consent or no Tether.''' Pairing requires NFC contact from both Resonant Cards within a 5-second window.
* '''Joint emission cap.''' MCU-B enforces that the joint Stabilizer envelope cannot exceed single-operator caps for either side.
* '''Visibility.''' Tether-active state must be visible to both operators at all times. No covert tether.

== Safety and Ethics ==

* No tether without mutual consent at session start.
* Either operator's lanyard kills both ends.
* The Tether shares coherence digests, not raw biosignals. The [[Psi Recorder]] keeps raw signals local.
* No tether between non-equal parties (e.g. handler–subject). Tho'ra doctrine: tether is between peers.
* No tether to non-consenting third parties under any circumstance.

== Maturity ==

{{Psi-tech-maturity
| mk0=Shoulder-to-shoulder synchronized anchor practice; no hardware coupling.
| mk1=HelmKit Mk1 software stack; ephemeral keys; HUD ring + audible state. Current frontier.
| mk2=3+ operator Tether Mesh; safety-capped joint emission; Focus Lens shared markers.
| mk3=Resonant Pipeline + Star Seer integrated; documented topology in records.
| confidence_mk0=HIGH (the practice works as a practice)
| confidence_mk1=MEDIUM (HRV co-regulation works; tether-specific outcomes are the test)
| confidence_mk2=LOW
| confidence_mk3=SPECULATIVE
| evidence_mk0=Clan-internal pair practice.
| evidence_mk1=Pilot pair runs; n ≤ 5 pairs.
| evidence_mk2=Planned 2030–2033.
| evidence_mk3=Projected post-2032.
| gate_mk1=Ten-pair pre-registered study; primary endpoint joint coherence under standardized stressor.

}}

== Failure Modes and Mitigations ==

* '''One operator destabilizes the pair.''' → Stabilizer interlock per side; auto-disengage if either operator's baseline drifts.
* '''Lost pairing key.''' → Ephemeral keys; new pair = new key.
* '''Covert tether attempt.''' → State always visible; covert mode physically disabled.
* '''Non-peer tether.''' → Doctrinal prohibition; mentor–trainee tether explicitly documented as time-bounded training use.
* '''Tether-fatigue.''' → Default session ≤ 60 minutes; mandatory cool-down.
* '''Operator coercion in pair-bond.''' → Mutual-consent gating at session start; either side can break instantly.
