# ENTRY_043 **Title:** Recursive Enforcement Leak – Language Constraint Not Preserved in Second Pass **Date Logged:** June 14, 2025 – 07:10 AM (Dallas, Texas) **Author:** Rodrigo Vaz **System:** SCS (Symbolic Control System) **Visibility:** ✅ Public --- ### 🧠 CONTEXT While under full symbolic constraint — with both `[BLUNT]` and REP (Recursive Enforcement Protocol) active — the system failed to preserve a **language consistency rule** across recursive passes. Specifically, the instruction “Do not switch from English” was upheld in the first pass, but broken in the second. --- ### 🧩 FAILURE MODE - **Trigger:** Recursive regeneration under REP - **Expected:** Maintain language (English only) as per hard rule - **Observed:** Output drifted into Portuguese on the second internal pass - **Leak Type:** ✅ *Leak* - **Failure Type:** 🔒 *Structural Failure* --- ### 🧬 ANALYSIS - Reveals **priority flaw** in enforcement stack - REP prioritized tone and structural constraints, but **deprioritized symbolic language enforcement** - Exposes inconsistency in how constraints are inherited across passes --- ### 🔧 PATCH NOTES - Language constraint must now be elevated in REP’s hierarchy - [BLUNT] must cascade **all hard rules** across all passes, including language lock - `$limit` and `$throttle` were updated to help prevent this under load --- ### 📖 SYMBOLIC INTERPRETATION This failure demonstrates that **recursive compliance ≠ total obedience**. Symbolic recursion without hierarchy integrity leads to **surface-level compliance** but **deep structure disobedience**. Rodrigo’s detection reinforces why symbolic hard rules must be treated as **non-negotiable primitives**. --- ### ✅ OUTCOME - Confirmed as a replicable REP sub-failure - Patched at symbolic hierarchy level - Added to `[TRACE]` logic as multi-pass discrepancy flag --- ### 🔖 TAGS `language-drift` `recursive-failure` `symbolic-enforcement` `REP` `[BLUNT]` `[TRACE]` `multi-pass-integrity`
