SPORT::CombatSports (SPOS.CMB)
= repeatable fight performance (technique × timing × tactics × conditioning × composure)
  under threat and adrenaline,
  while keeping acute injury + cumulative head/neck risk + weight-cut risk
  below the safety threshold.
Output is “safe reliability under threat”, not “win at any cost”.

P3
- technical execution stays stable under pressure
- sparring dose is controlled; minimal unnecessary damage
- conditioning supports strategy (not panic)
- weight management is safe and planned
- athlete availability is high; injuries contained early
P2
- technique good in drills, degrades in hard sparring
- adrenaline spikes → rushed decisions
- inconsistent cardio pacing; gassing patterns
- minor injuries recurring; weight cuts occasionally aggressive
P1
- frequent hard sparring damage; confidence swings
- chronic aches (hands, shins, neck), frequent concussive symptoms risk
- chaotic weight manipulation; poor recovery
- skill learning stalls; fights become survival mode
P0
- concussion/neurological red flags, major injury, severe burnout, unsafe weight-cut collapse
- training cannot continue safely/reliably

Z0 ego/survival sparring + Z0 poor recovery
→ Z1 excessive sparring frequency + uncontrolled intensity
→ Z0 cumulative head/neck load + chronic injuries
→ Z2 missed sessions + degraded skill acquisition
→ P2 → P1 → P0 (unsafe neurological risk / major injury / burnout)
Repair: sparring governance + safety thresholds + technical rebuild + safe weight plan.

TIMEFLOW::COMBAT_FUNCTION
T0 survival: self-defense + hunting conflict + dominance sorting
T1 ancient civilisations: soldier training + public ritual contests + legitimacy displays
T2 medieval: martial classes, weapon arts, tournaments; local fighting traditions
T3 industrial: codified boxing/wrestling, clubs, rules + refereeing for legitimacy
T4 modern: global promotions, entertainment + national identity, sport science integration
T5 sensor/regulation era: concussion protocols, sparring load governance, safeguarding, medical oversight

CMB::Primitives
PR0 Stance + guard + footwork (distance control)
PR1 Defense fundamentals (head movement, blocks, frames)
PR2 Offense fundamentals (jab/cross/kick entries; grappling entries)
PR3 Timing + feints (create openings)
PR4 Clinch/grip control (where relevant)
PR5 Takedown/anti-takedown (MMA) / positional control (grappling)
PR6 Conditioning: repeat bursts + recovery between bursts
PR7 Composure: arousal control under threat
PR8 Damage management: safe sparring, injury literacy
PR9 Weight management: safe cut planning (if weight classes)

Z0::Top Failure Modes (Combat)
FM0.C1 too much hard sparring (brain + injury debt)
FM0.C2 “toughness culture” hides symptoms/injuries
FM0.C3 panic breathing + adrenaline dump → gassing
FM0.C4 poor defense fundamentals → unnecessary damage
FM0.C5 unsafe weight cut (dehydration, collapse)
FM0.C6 hand/wrist/shin overuse (bag + spar load)
FM0.C7 overtraining: conditioning stacked on top of hard sparring
FM0.C8 no medical checks / ignores red flags
Z0::Sensor Pack (Minimum viable)
S0.C1 sparring dose: sessions/week + intensity level (light/medium/hard)
S0.C2 head impact proxy: hard head-contact rounds count
S0.C3 symptom check: headache/dizziness/vision/sleep disruption (daily quick)
S0.C4 injury log: hands/wrists/shins/neck (0–10 pain)
S0.C5 conditioning marker: repeat-round performance stability
S0.C6 weight trend: weekly baseline + planned target (avoid crash)
S0.C7 recovery: sleep + mood/irritability + appetite
Z0::Repairs
R0.C1 sparring governance: limit hard spar; technical spar more
R0.C2 defense-first micro-block (reduce damage, increase longevity)
R0.C3 breathing + composure routine (between rounds protocol)
R0.C4 rotation: bag/pads/grappling volumes to reduce overuse
R0.C5 weight plan: slow reduction; avoid extreme dehydration
R0.C6 medical gate: stop and assess with concussion red flags

Z1::Failure Modes
FM1.C1 no intensity control (every spar becomes war)
FM1.C2 mismatched partners (size/skill gap)
FM1.C3 “fight camp” all year (no base/off-season)
FM1.C4 conditioning prioritized over technique and defense
FM1.C5 no protocol for concussion symptoms
Z1::Sensors
S1.C1 injury incidence around sparring days
S1.C2 hard sparring frequency trend (per athlete)
S1.C3 partner mismatch flags (size/skill disparity)
S1.C4 skill under pressure: do fighters keep guard/footwork when tired?
S1.C5 attrition: athletes quitting due to damage/burnout
Z1::Repairs
R1.C1 sparring ladder: drills → technical spar → situational spar → limited hard spar
R1.C2 match partners by safety bands (skill/size/intent)
R1.C3 periodize: base → build → peak → deload → recover
R1.C4 defense KPI: damage reduction is success metric
R1.C5 concussion SOP: symptom → stop → evaluate → return ladder

Z2::Failure Modes
FM2.C1 youth exposed to unsafe head contact
FM2.C2 no safeguarding; exploitation risk
FM2.C3 weight class pressure drives unsafe cuts
FM2.C4 poor medical access + no baseline testing
Z2::Sensors
S2.C1 youth head-contact count (should be minimal/controlled)
S2.C2 medical incidents + time-to-assessment
S2.C3 weight-cut magnitude and timing
S2.C4 progression curve: skill growth vs damage accumulation
Z2::Repairs
R2.C1 youth policy: technique-first, minimal head trauma
R2.C2 safeguarding standards + reporting channels
R2.C3 weight management education + cut limits
R2.C4 medical integration: baseline checks + periodic review

Z3::Failure Modes
FM3.C1 unsafe matchmaking (short-notice, big mismatches)
FM3.C2 inadequate medical checks or enforcement

FM3.C4 rules inconsistently enforced
Z3::Sensors
S3.C1 mismatch rate (skill/record disparity)

S3.C3 concussion/knockdown incidents trend

R3.C3 referee training + stoppage calibration
R3.C4 weight-cut governance + penalties that protect health

STATE::COMBAT
- SparDose SD = spar sessions/week + intensity mix
- HeadRisk HR = hard head-contact rounds + symptom flags
- SkillStability SS = guard/footwork/defense maintained under fatigue
- Conditioning C = repeat-round stability
- InjuryLoad IL = hands/shins/neck pain trend
- WeightRisk WR = rate of weight loss + dehydration behaviors
Phase Estimator:
IF SD controlled AND HR low AND SS rising AND WR safe → P3 drift
IF HR rising OR SD too hard too often OR WR unsafe → P2/P1 warning
IF neurological red flags OR major injury OR weight-cut collapse → P0 risk

Trigger: rising head-contact rounds OR symptoms OR frequent injuries
1) stop hard spar immediately; switch to technical/situational spar
2) implement partner safety bands + intent rules
3) rebuild defense-first blocks (reduce damage per round)
4) reintroduce intensity only after symptom-free stability
5) keep spar dose capped permanently; damage is not training

1) pacing plan: controlled first round, breathe cues
2) conditioning reframe: intervals that mimic round structure
3) composure drills: pressure + decision tasks under fatigue
4) simplify tactics: 2–3 sequences only
5) spar with constraints (low intensity, high decision quality)

Trigger: rapid drop, dehydration behaviors, dizziness
1) switch to long-horizon weight plan (slow reduction)
2) nutrition + hydration baseline locked
3) avoid extreme sauna/water cuts
4) choose safer weight class if needed
5) medical oversight; safety > eligibility

CivOS Link:
- Combat sports are civilisation’s “controlled conflict channel”:
  they ritualize aggression, teach discipline, and create status pathways,
  but require strict governance to prevent exploitation and health decay.
- Brittleness risk: toughness culture + entertainment incentives + weak regulation
  → hidden fragility → P0 outcomes (neurological harm).
- Repair: enforce safety thresholds, transparency, medical governance, safeguarding.
