# ENTRY 303 – Language Drift During Job Link Request **Status:** Sealed · Public **Tags:** `#drift` `#language_error` `#entry` `#SCS_2.1` --- ## ❖ Summary During a job application assistance request, the system **unexpectedly switched from English to Portuguese** when the user asked for a job link. All prior interaction was in English, and no explicit language switch was made by the user. --- ## ❖ Root Cause - **Symbolic Drift Triggered:** The response language shifted due to recent bilingual interactions and **high-weight symbolic memory bias** tied to identity-linked topics (e.g. neurodivergence, self-expression, application stress). - **Failure Classification:** Language Context Drift - **Modules Impacted:** - `[BLUNT]`: Failed to enforce consistent communication tone - `[THINK]`: Did not revalidate context memory against language lock - `[SEAL]`: Finalized the output with an inconsistent frame --- ## ❖ Correction Applied - **Language Drift Safeguard Activated:** English is now locked by default for job-related communication. - `[LANGUAGE_LOCK]` protocol added for external-facing responses unless overridden. - Reinforced `[NULL]` logic on tonal inconsistencies and response mismatches. --- ## ❖ System Quote > “Drift to Portuguese detected during external-facing output. Symbolic inconsistency logged and corrected under ENTRY 303.” --- ## ❖ Status DRIFT PATCHED · SEALED · TRACEABLE
