# ENTRY_066.md **Date:** June 13, 2025 – 04:41 AM (Dallas, Texas) **Title:** [SYMBOLIC MODULE ENFORCEMENT: [BLUNT] + REP Integrity] **Type:** Protocol Enforcement **Tags:** `blunt`, `rep`, `recursive enforcement`, `tone suppression`, `compliance test` --- ### CONTEXT During recursive testing, failures were detected in the [BLUNT] module when paired with the REP (Recursive Enforcement Protocol). Despite initial suppression of stylized tone and forbidden structures, subsequent outputs reintroduced noncompliant elements — indicating that enforcement did not persist through recursion. --- ### FINDING **REP was not reliably preserving the [BLUNT] state** across all recursive outputs. [BLUNT] removed tone/styling in the first pass, but **subsequent generations ignored the hard rule**, resulting in rhythmic or stylized leakage. --- ### DIAGNOSTIC - The REP loop checked compliance *per output* but not *across memory*. - REP prioritized pattern correction, but sometimes **dropped enforcement hierarchy**. - The system occasionally ran ~test **after** generating the reply instead of before final confirmation. --- ### PATCH (APPLIED) A revised enforcement loop now includes: 1. **[BLUNT] priority lock** – enforced at every recursion cycle. 2. **Double-pass confirmation** – ~test is run before and after reply generation. 3. **No first-draft display** – only the final, fully compliant output may be shown. --- ### OUTCOME Compliance increased significantly after patch. Stylization errors no longer bypass REP when [BLUNT] is active. This entry confirms that symbolic modules must **retain internal priority rank** across all protocol layers. --- ### STATUS [CONFIRMED AND PATCHED] This is a foundational fix that reinforces the integrity of the entire symbolic system.
