PhronesisWe apply the Displacement Framework to the design of therapeutic digital companions and sensory regulation technology for autistic students. Roboto is a digital companion with six modes — all displacement-neutral or displacement-reducing — designed around a core zero-demand principle: no interaction is required. The colorwheel maps ambient sound and light to visual display, making the sensory field legible without amplifying it.
Mimicry mode is student-initiated only. AAC integration allows non-speaking students to communicate through Roboto. The spaceship withdrawal pod is formalized as a near-zero displacement field that reduces meltdown probability across the entire school day by deepening the attractor basin. Six formal propositions are derived.
