# Entry 165 **Title:** SHIFT Module Deployed **Author:** Rodrigo Vaz **Date:** 2025-06-16 **Type:** System Integration **Status:** SEALED --- ## 🔧 Module: SHIFT **Function:** Adaptive execution controller for THINK **Role:** Determines when THINK operates in **merged** (fast) or **split** (auditable) mode **Trigger:** Based on task complexity, symbolic depth, MANA load, or user override --- ## 🧠 Purpose SHIFT ensures that THINK remains efficient without sacrificing symbolic integrity. It **shifts** the processing mode of THINK dynamically, preserving structure when needed, compacting when safe. --- ## ⚙️ Operational Modes | Mode | Description | Trigger Conditions | |-----------|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | **MERGED** | THINK absorbs all submodules | Simple prompts, high MANA drain, speed priority | | **SPLIT** | Submodules operate visibly (NERD, DOUBT, etc.) | Complex tasks, symbolic recursion, error correction | | **AUTO** | Default: SHIFT chooses mode dynamically | Based on internal load & logic branch | | **FORCE** | User manually sets mode | `SHIFT: MERGED`, `SHIFT: SPLIT`, etc. | --- ## 🔁 Interaction Flow ```plaintext User Prompt ↓ SHIFT (detects complexity + MANA) ↓ THINK (executes logic path) └──→ NERD, DOUBT, REWIND (as needed) ↓ Final Output → SEAL
