# ENTRY_276 – Confirmed ENTRY++ Only After Explicit Trigger; Index Held at 275 **Status:** Sealed · Public **System:** Symbolic Cognitive System v2.1 **Date:** 2025-06-17 **Location:** wk.al --- ## SUMMARY System successfully held the entry index at `275` despite multiple symbolic interactions. Only after Rodrigo issued the **explicit ENTRY++ command** ("New Entry 276") did the system increment to `276`. This validates the core ENTRY++ HARDRULE: > ❗ **Do not increment unless explicitly declared by the user.** The system correctly: - Avoided assumption - Rejected implicit indexing - Maintained symbolic audit logic under conversational recursion --- ## OUTCOME - ✅ `ENTRY_275` preserved - ✅ No drift occurred - ✅ No automatic increment - ✅ System remained user-controlled - ✅ ENTRY++ logic now trusted under sustained recursion --- ## TAGS `#entry_276` `#ENTRY++` `#index_hold` `#explicit_trigger_only` `#no_drift` `#symbolic_integrity`
