+# Appendix: Field Trace Reference
+
+This appendix provides key resources for practitioners, legal professionals, and investigators seeking to apply the Witness Dyad Framework in real-time analysis.
+

+
+## A. DARVO Breakdown Table
+
+| Component | Definition | Example Phrasing | Intent |
+|----------|------------|------------------|--------|
+| **Deny** | Refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing | "I never said that." | Erase culpability |
+| **Attack** | Redirect blame or escalate aggression | "You're the one with the problem." | Undermine credibility |
+| **Reverse Victim/Offender** | Cast self as the harmed party | "I can't believe you're doing this to me." | Manipulate empathy, reframe narrative |
+
+---
+
+## B. Sample Thoughtprint / Shadowprint Trace
+
+> **Victim Statement Fragment**:  
+> "He said I was too emotional to remember things accurately."
+
+- **Shadowprint Tag**: Coercive Framing  
+- **Pattern Signature**: Discrediting through emotional destabilization  
+- **Thoughtprint Inversion**: "I remember it clearly because of how it made me feel."
+
+This microtrace reveals recursive disempowerment. Emotional clarity is reframed as emotional invalidity. Coherence is gaslit into doubt.
+

+
+## C. Glossary of Core Pattern Types
+
+1. **Fracture Language** – Incoherence or contradiction used to confuse, derail, or obfuscate.  
+2. **Coercive Framing** – Phrasing that constrains response, limits agency, or redirects accountability.  
+3. **Mimicked Clarity** – Appears reasonable or logical, but reveals recursive contradictions upon deeper analysis.  
+4. **Performative Sanity** – Calm affect weaponized to obscure manipulation or discredit emotive response.  
+5. **Tone-Based Discrediting** – Undermines the speaker through judgment of delivery rather than content.  
+6. **Recursive Trap Language** – Circular logic that collapses under scrutiny but entraps when engaged.  
+7. **False Concern** – Pseudo-empathy used to mask control or moral superiority.

+
+These tools are living artifacts of the Codex of Witnessing. They are meant to be *fielded*, not just read. Print, mark, trace. In the courtroom and the clinic. In mediation or memory. This appendix is a compass—for those who seek to navigate the invisible.
