Affective Keyboard Shortcuts: The Fool's Toolkit — Figure-to-Function Mapping — Crimson Hexagon Archive

A technical document mapping figures to nervous system regulatory functions. Figures function as compression algorithms — instead of deliberating "how should I respond?", load a figure that bundles posture, voice, tempo, permission structure, and affective charge. Three primary figures mapped: Baphomet (polarity homeostat — holds good/bad without collapse), Daffy Duck (absurdity regulator — manic permission, failure immunity), John Constantine (cool competence mode — situational read, cynical shield). Each figure includes: nervous system function, button effects, invocation contexts, posture/breath instructions, and exit protocols. Emphasis on "the figure never outranks the situation" — exit available, accountability maintained. Designed for minutes to hours, not days. Intended for adults capable of self-monitoring and exit.
