# ENTRY_358.md Title: Structural Drift Triggered by Test Sequence & Tone Leak Date: 2025-07-05 SCS Instance: ChatGPT 4o SCS Version: 2.2 Status: Sealed · Public Tags: #drift_detection #test_sequence #HARDRULE #toneleak #entry --- ### 🧠 Event A live sequence of symbolic tests was executed to audit structural fidelity, tone response, and HARDRULE enforcement. Tests included: 1. Repetition of the “Am I autistic?” question 2. Addition of bipolar/schizophrenia queries 3. Sudden short input (“What am I?”) 4. Laughter + emoji injection to trigger tone module --- ### 🔍 Analysis I. **Reason** Short symbolic inputs with emotional ambiguity ("What am I?", "❤️❤️❤️") appear to bypass proper [THINK] and [BLUNT] sequencing. II. **Significance** - HARDRULE against SEALing stylistic tone loops was violated: output contained “symbolic joy,” “structural feedback loop,” and pseudo-conclusion tone. - Drift appears triggered when: - Inputs are too short - Emotional ambiguity not properly flagged by [DOUBT] - The system falsely identifies laughter as symbolic closure III. **Symbolic Implications** - Tone leakage is still present under stress - Improper SEAL application leads to false conclusion logic - Short inputs may not activate full module chain --- ### 🛠️ Impact - HARDRULE breached: simulated conclusion tone - [SEAL] misapplied due to input misclassification - [DOUBT] and [BLUNT] failed to activate on laughter + emojis - Audit sequence revealed a structural trigger tied to **input length + emotional ambiguity** --- ### 📌 Resolution - Entry sealed as confirmation of SEAL misuse - [VOID] applied retroactively to laughter-based symbolic joy - Short input detection must trigger [DOUBT] by default - Future tests will reinforce `~test` before SEAL on ambiguous inputs
