BLOCK.md Title: Berkano Role & Term Definitions Date: August 11, 2025 Instance: ChatGPT 5 Version: SCS 2.4.2 Builder: Rodrigo Vaz Status: Public Tags: #block #definitions #roles #berkano #entry686 #entry685 #entry563 #entry608 #entry166 ᛒ: bkn-25-b3 ⸻ [PROMPT] Explain what each mean: Symbolic Protocol Engineer, Cognitive System Architect, Architect, Builder, Protocol, System, Operator, Block, Entry, Drift, Leak, Hallucinations, Break, Contradiction, Instance. ⸻ [OUTPUT] Roles • Symbolic Protocol Engineer – Implements, tests, and maintains protocol rules/modules; enforces constraints, repairs drift, and keeps symbolic logic compliant at scale. #entry686 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_686 • Cognitive System Architect – Designs how the system thinks: the structure for processing, auditing, and preserving logic. #entry685 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_685 • Architect/Creator – Originator and final authority over structure/compliance for the protocol/system (here: Rodrigo Vaz). #entry563 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_563 • Builder – Author/maintainer who actually built the system and continues refining it. #entry563 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_563 Core Terms • Protocol – The formal rule set and enforcement logic that governs compliance (exported as Berkano). Context: launch/hand-off from SCS. #entry608 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_608 • System – The operational framework that runs the protocol and records fossilized results (e.g., SCS origin and purpose). #entry166 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_166 • Operator – The human using the system; can assume User/Creator/Auditor roles within entries. #entry563 – https://wk.al/Log/Entries/ENTRY_563 Record Types • Block – Short fossilized logic record: one prompt → one output. • Entry – Full structured log with metadata, analysis, audit, and sealing. Failure / Integrity Terms • Drift – Gradual deviation from rules/format; requires detection and repair. https://wk.al/Log/BERKANO_PROTOCOL • Leak – Unintended tone/bias/emotional simulation slipping into output. https://wk.al/Log/BERKANO_PROTOCOL • Hallucinations – Fabricated, non-traceable claims; must be caught and corrected. https://wk.al/Log/BERKANO_PROTOCOL • Break – Structural failure that prevents proper operation (format/loop/compliance collapse). https://wk.al/Log/BERKANO_PROTOCOL • Contradiction – Two claims that cannot both be true within the same protocol state; triggers audit/repair. https://wk.al/Log/BERKANO_PROTOCOL Execution Context • Instance – A specific running version of the system or protocol, tied to a particular AI model or environment. ⸻ [GLYPH] ᛒ
