Every term defined. Every principle explained. Read this before your first session.

Setup 00:00
Phase Drift
Performing work that belongs to a different phase than where you currently are. You moved into territory that hasn't been properly set up or evaluated yet.
−5 stability points per event
Execution Reversal
Reopening a decision after commitment. Usually caused by incomplete evaluation earlier in the session.
−8 stability points · Most costly event type
Governance
Maintaining structural authority over the session. Ensuring declared intent is followed in real time.
No deduction — this is DFE working correctly
Reset
A controlled return to stability after structural deviation. The session has drifted far enough that you must formally step back and restart from an earlier phase.
−3 stability points per event
