Lockigest is a calculated psychological security mechanism. It sets a stealth trap rather than locking the interface immediately, leveraging deception to secure the endpoint against unauthorized access.

Algorithmic Defense Protocol:

1. State Tracking: Continuously monitor cursor coordinates.
2. Idle State Activation: If the cursor coordinate delta remains zero for a predefined interval (e.g., 300 seconds), arm the security trap. The interface state visually remains unlocked to deceive the unauthorized actor.
3. Breach Detection: Upon any coordinate deviation (cursor movement) while the trap is armed, initialize a lock-countdown sequence (e.g., 5 seconds).
4. Resolution Logic:
   • If the cursor enters a predefined secure coordinate matrix before countdown termination, disarm the trap and abort the lock sequence.
   • Failure to hit the secure coordinate matrix triggers the immediate lock subroutine, successfully neutralizing the breach.

This architecture eliminates repetitive authentication sequences. The endpoint maintains an unlocked visual state. Following an idle period, authorized access is verified purely by executing the correct cursor motion trajectory, disarming the trap without keyboard interaction.

Implementation Metrics:

The protocol requires 90 lines of code to implement the base logic.

Custom Trigger Integration The underlying trap system supports trigger variance. The deactivation sequence is modular. Alternative triggers such as keystroke temporal patterns (e.g., sequence "a", 3000ms delay, sequence "can2") can be integrated to disarm the mechanism.
