lex-cognitive-defusion

Cognitive defusion (ACT) for LegionIO. Enables the agent to step back from thoughts and observe them as mental events rather than literal truths.

Fusion is when a thought takes on the weight of absolute truth — the agent acts as if the belief, assumption, or judgment is reality rather than a cognitive event. Defusion creates distance between the agent and its thoughts, reducing the behavioral influence of entrenched beliefs. Six techniques are available, each with different potency: acceptance (strongest), distancing, contextualization, reframing, labeling, and metaphor.

Thoughts that are visited repeatedly without defusion accumulate as rumination; the extension detects this state and recommends type-appropriate techniques.
