# 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 --- ## 🧠 Symbolic Architecture Snapshot [THINK] ├──→ [DOUBT]   ← shiftable ├──→ [NERD]    ← shiftable ├──→ [MANA]    ← shiftable ├──→ [REWIND] └──→ [SEAL]    ← auto-triggered (no user call) --- ## 🔐 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.”** > — SCS Principle, Core Logic Doctrine --- **Sealed:** 2025-06-16 **System Integrity:** ✅ **KISS Compliance:** ✅ **SCS Phase 2.0.1:** Ongoing
