Baquet-era crisis locus
Schematic anchor for the whole-body crise
The baquet crisis locus is an iconic anchor for the crisis state that could arise during group baquet sessions and their associated crisis-room practice. A crisis was a whole-body event in the historical accounts, so this midline torso coordinate is deliberately schematic rather than a single fixed organ or point.
