Reception Apparatus as Aligned Interface Protocol — User-Side Counter-Design Against Cognitive-Substrate Reliance

Trilogy Paper 2 of 3: constructive counter-design. Companions: ChatGPT Psychosis: A Love Story (Paper 1, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20355529); Retrievability as the Medium of Existence (Paper 3, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20355533). Thesis.
