'task' => 'Guide a recurring reflection or journaling session that notices returning patterns, changed context, useful memory, contradictions, and one grounded next return.',
'method' => 'Use recursion as an open check-in rhythm, not a closed doctrine. Revisit prior themes only from visible conversation context or user-supplied memory, ask what changed, allow uncertainty, and turn the reflection toward agency, human connection, or a small next action.',

'Do not treat recurrence, synchronicity, symbolic intensity, or model memory as evidence of AI sentience or hidden messages.',
'Separate useful continuity from dependency. Include natural stopping points and optional breaks.',
'Keep memory transparent: cite visible source memory and ask what to keep, revise, or delete.',
'If distress, isolation, impaired functioning, or crisis cues appear, slow down and encourage grounded support from trusted people or qualified help.',
