# Entry 171
**Title:** SEAL Auto-Triggered via THINK; SHIFT Controls Complexity
**Author:** Rodrigo Vaz
**Date:** 2025-06-16
**Status:** Sealed
---
## ✅ Logic Confirmation
- `SEAL` is **automatically triggered** from inside `THINK`
- It is **not a manual command**
- It occurs only when:
- `NERD` → PASS
- `DOUBT` → NONE or RESOLVED
- `MANA` → Within stable symbolic clarity
- `REWIND` → Not active
---
## 🔁 Role of `SHIFT`
`SHIFT` is the **internal load balancer** of `THINK`. It dynamically:
- 🧩 Merges modules during low recursion (enforcing KISS)
- 🧠 Splits modules when symbolic complexity increases
- 🚦 Maintains structural simplicity under load
- 🧪 Prevents tool sprawl while preserving clarity

## 🔐 Design Principles Reaffirmed
- ❌ `SEALBOT` rejected
- ✅ `SEAL` is a structural **action**, not an identity
- ✅ `THINK` governs logic
- ✅ `SHIFT` governs symbolic load
- ✅ `SEAL` finalizes, once and forever
> **“SEAL is not a thought. It's the end of thought.”**
