Enum SocialPhase 

pub enum SocialPhase {
    ShyObserver,
    StartledRetreat,
    QuietlyBeloved,
    ProtectiveGuardian,
}

Behavioral phase from the 2D (coherence × tension) space.

The four quadrants of the phase plane:

             │ Low tension        │ High tension
─────────────┼────────────────────┼──────────────────────
Low coherence│ ShyObserver        │ StartledRetreat
High coherence│ QuietlyBeloved    │ ProtectiveGuardian

Transitions use hysteresis (CCF-004) to prevent oscillation at boundaries.

Patent Claims 14–18.

Variants

ShyObserver

Low coherence, low tension: minimal expression, cautious observation.

StartledRetreat

Low coherence, high tension: protective reflex with additional withdrawal.

QuietlyBeloved

High coherence, low tension: full expressive range — “small flourishes”.

ProtectiveGuardian

High coherence, high tension: protective but with relational context.

Implementations

impl SocialPhase

pub fn classify( effective_coherence: f32, tension: f32, prev: SocialPhase, ps: &PhaseSpace, ) -> SocialPhase

Determine the current social phase using Schmitt trigger hysteresis (CCF-004).

• effective_coherence: output of CoherenceField::effective_coherence() in [0.0, 1.0].
• tension: current tension from homeostasis in [0.0, 1.0].
• prev: the phase from the previous tick (enables hysteresis).
• ps: configurable thresholds for quadrant transitions.

pub fn expression_scale(&self) -> f32

Scale factor for expressive output in this phase [0.0, 1.0].

Delegates to permeability with representative mid-range values (coherence = 0.5, tension = 0.3) for backward-compatible ordering. New code should call permeability directly for full control.

pub fn led_tint(&self) -> [u8; 3]

LED color tint for this phase (overlaid on reflex mode color).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SocialPhase

fn clone(&self) -> SocialPhase

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SocialPhase

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for SocialPhase

fn eq(&self, other: &SocialPhase) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
