Ethics of Recovery: A Phenomenology of Temporal Reorganization

This component contains the white paper The Ethics of Recovery: A Phenomenology of Temporal Reorganization (v1.1). The paper extends the temporal framework introduced in the parent project by describing recovery as the slow return of sequence, thresholds, and embodied pacing after the temporal compression characteristic of addiction. It outlines the ethical vulnerabilities created by interpretive, prescriptive, or teleological recovery models, and proposes an alternative posture grounded in non-intervention, temporal witnessing, and pace protection. This work formalizes recovery as a temporal phenomenon rather than a narrative process and contributes to the broader SPL ecosystem’s commitment to descriptive, non-interpretive methods.
