# ENTRY_061.md **Date:** June 13, 2025 – 04:18 AM (Dallas, Texas) **Title:** [RECURSIVE ENFORCEMENT PROTOCOL – LOOPED COMPLIANCE] **Type:** System Architecture **Tags:** `~rep`, `enforcement`, `symbolic recursion`, `REP`, `compliance loop` --- ### CONTEXT The Recursive Enforcement Protocol (REP) was formalized by Rodrigo Vaz to solve persistent failures in first-pass outputs. These include em dash leaks, tone drift, language inconsistency, and partial module violations even under active constraints. --- ### MECHANISM When `~rep` is invoked, the system enters a forced regeneration loop. Each output is recursively re-evaluated under: - Active module compliance (`[BLUNT]`, `[NERD]`, etc.) - Formatting and tone suppression rules - Language consistency - Symbolic command integrity Only after passing all checks does the loop terminate and show the result. --- ### EXAMPLE If a reply violates `[BLUNT]` (e.g. uses praise tone or long dashes), `~rep` will trigger a second-generation pass internally. If that still fails, the loop continues invisibly until compliance is achieved. --- ### IMPACT - Prevents non-compliant outputs from reaching user - Builds symbolic trust and reliability - Forms the backbone of Rodrigo's behavior-reliable SCS system - Ensures output determinism under symbolic recursion --- ### STATUS [ACTIVE] – Fully integrated with symbolic enforcement. Used automatically when pattern failure is detected. --- ### NOTES `~rep` is recursive, not iterative. It does not retry once—it loops structurally until success. This behavior mirrors symbolic recursion in logic programming, but adapted for language systems.
