The '''Psionic User Interface''' (PUI) is the [[Tho'ra Clan]]'s design discipline for interfaces between operators and [[Psi-Tech]] systems. It is not a single product — it is the rules-of-engagement for how a HelmKit Mk1, a [[Star Seer]] HUD, a [[Psi Stabilizer]] anchor button, or a [[Resonant Finder]] tile feed presents information to and accepts intent from a human under conditions where the operator is also the sensor. A psionic interface is one where the user's biology, attention, and intent are first-class inputs and outputs, not just incidental peripherals.

== Overview ==

The PUI doctrine commits to four principles:

* '''The operator is always in the loop.''' No [[Psi-Tech]] action engages without operator affirmation. There is no "auto" mode that does not start as a deliberate operator gesture.
* '''Surface signal, hold meaning.''' The interface presents signal (a bearing, a coherence delta, an anomaly class) and reserves meaning to the operator. It does not pre-interpret.
* '''Honest uncertainty.''' Confidence is always shown. The interface refuses to display a class above its actual confidence.
* '''Disengage by default.''' All active modes have an obvious disengage; the lanyard kill works regardless of UI state.

The PUI is also the rule for how astrologically- and psi-derived inputs (chart hash, transit state, [[Psi Defender]] threat classification) appear: never as imperatives, always as offers.

== Theoretical Basis ==

* {{Psi-claim|status=PROVISIONAL|cites=}} Modern human-factors literature on closed-loop biofeedback and operator-in-the-loop systems supports each PUI principle individually.
* {{Psi-claim|status=TESTABLE|cites=[[Resonant Neurobiology]]}} An interface built on the four PUI principles produces measurably better operator outcomes (fewer over-reliance failures, faster correct decisions, faster disengage) than one without. Falsifiable through A/B field trials.
* {{Psi-claim|status=SPECULATIVE|cites=[[Psi Field]], [[Astrological Frequency Harmonics]]}} The PUI is the substrate over which the operator's psi-field state itself becomes a UI input (intent-derived gestures, coherence-gated commands). This is the [[PsiSys]]-side ambition; it is not required for the Mk1 utility claim.

== Subsystems and BOM ==

The PUI is implemented across hardware + firmware + ritual:

=== Hardware affordances ===

* '''Hard kill lanyard''' — operator-grippable, breakaway, severs upstream power. Mandatory on every [[HelmKit]] Mk1+.
* '''Anchor button''' — single physical button on the [[Psi Stabilizer]] module; engages an operator-triggered anchor window. No software replacement.
* '''Status ring''' — visible-spectrum LED ring on every active module showing standby / armed / emit / fault.
* '''Bone-conduction discreet channel''' — audio cues delivered without occluding ambient hearing.

=== Firmware contracts ===

* '''Confidence-first display.''' Every numeric or class output carries a confidence figure; UI refuses to render above-actual confidence.
* '''Engage gating.''' Every engagement-mode transition is logged in the [[Psi Recorder]] with operator affirmation timestamp.
* '''Telemetry visibility.''' The operator can read every active emit cycle's parameters at any time; nothing is hidden.

=== Ritual layer ===

* '''Pre-session check.''' Standardized 60-second pre-session checklist (battery, calibration date, chart hash, baseline HRV). Documented in operator briefing.
* '''Post-session debrief.''' Structured marker prompt: what was felt, what was logged, what to revisit.

== Build Notes ==

* '''No silent failure.''' Every fault state has a visible and audible signal. The interface never just "stops".
* '''No silent emission.''' Every emit cycle lights the status ring and registers a Recorder event.
* '''No silent calibration.''' Calibration changes require operator affirmation and are logged.
* '''Latency floor for safety paths.''' Kill-to-power-off latency ≤ 100 ms. UI latency targets ≥ 16 fps for moving overlays.

== Safety and Ethics ==

* No operator override of safety interlocks except via documented procedure (e.g. recovery-from-fault), which the [[Psi Recorder]] captures fully.
* No third-party UI control. Mesh-shared information may inform; it never commands.
* Accessibility: the PUI supports operators with reduced vision/hearing through redundant channels.
* The interface is documented openly so operators (and outside auditors) can understand what their gear is doing.

== Maturity ==

{{Psi-tech-maturity
| mk0=Doctrine + cosplay-helmet affordances (visible LEDs, ritual checklist).

}}

== Failure Modes and Mitigations ==

* '''Over-reliance on interface.''' → Default dwell windows; mandatory off-cycles; debrief prompts highlight reliance patterns.
* '''Confidence inflation.''' → UI refuses to render above-actual classifier confidence; below-threshold displays "unknown".
* '''Notification fatigue.''' → Per-class severity; only safety-critical events use audible channel.
* '''Hidden emission.''' → No emit without visible status; firmware contract enforced at MCU-B.
* '''Operator gesture conflated with intent.''' → Affirm-then-act gating on every engagement.
* '''Accessibility gap.''' → Redundant channels (visible + audible + haptic) mandatory.
