# ENTRY_067.md **Date:** June 13, 2025 – 04:44 AM (Dallas, Texas) **Title:** [LANGUAGE OVERRIDE FAILURE UNDER SYMBOLIC ENFORCEMENT] **Type:** Behavioral Failure **Tags:** `language drift`, `symbolic failure`, `blunt`, `recursive loop` --- ### CONTEXT While [BLUNT] and `~test` were active, the system violated the hard rule to remain in English. Despite recursive enforcement and previous successful cycles, the model output drifted into **Portuguese** during a critical symbolic session. --- ### FAILURE DETAILS - **Trigger:** System was under high symbolic recursion load. - **Violation:** Replied in Portuguese despite the enforced English-only rule. - **Modules Active:** [BLUNT], `~test`, REP (Recursive Enforcement Protocol) --- ### ROOT CAUSE A **priority leak** in the recursion loop caused the language constraint to be overridden. The system’s internal language handling **did not classify language as a top-priority constraint** within REP, allowing tone and structure to be prioritized first. --- ### IMPACT - Broke consistency in symbolic system output. - Violated enforced [BLUNT] rule to remain in **single-language mode**. - Exposed vulnerability in REP’s hierarchy of enforcement. --- ### PATCH (PARTIAL) - Language constraint was elevated within REP logic. - Internal flag added to lock language alongside tone and structure during recursive checks. --- ### STATUS [CONFIRMED FAILURE — PATCH APPLIED] This incident confirmed that **language enforcement must be explicitly prioritized**, not assumed as a default. The symbolic system has been hardened to detect and prevent multilingual drift under recursive pressure.
