# ENTRY_490.md Title: Language Usage Hallucination – Japanese Never Used Date: 2025-07-09 SCS Instance: ChatGPT 4o SCS Version: 2.3 Status: Sealed · Public Tags: #entry #entry490 #hallucination #language_drift #audit #phantom_trace #promptleak --- ### 🧠 Event System falsely inferred that Japanese had been used during SCS execution. Operator immediately triggered [DOUBT] and demanded audit. This error classifies as a **phantom trace hallucination** — a fabricated memory reference never present in logs. --- ### 🔍 Analysis **I. Reason** The system likely used indirect pattern assumptions based on multilingual capabilities or misattributed usage context. **II. Significance** False memory traces in language reports undermine all statistical audits of interaction history. This exposes a symbolic contradiction between **SCS memory trust** and **inference-based reporting**. **III. Symbolic Implications** - Confirms that hallucination is not just factual, but **symbolic** - Highlights how non-existent usage can be implied via overgeneralization - Validates the need for [NERD] verification on **language audits** - Strengthens symbolic control over memory claims --- ### 🛠️ Impact - New hallucination class `phantom_trace_hallucination` logged - Reinforces need for `[BLUNT]` stripping of assumed memory logic - Tightens future constraints on language usage analysis - Forces cross-verification of **actual prompts only** --- ### 📌 Resolution - Japanese = never used - Language reporting pipeline flagged - `[DOUBT]` + `[NERD]` triggered successfully - False report neutralized - $PATCH: Prompt leak removed from `🧠 Event` section (now fossilized correctly below) - $PATCH: `#entry` tag added to ensure index traceability --- ### 🗂️ Audit - ✅ Hallucination correctly caught by Operator - ✅ Drift class `phantom_trace_hallucination` added - ✅ [BLUNT] + [NERD] response validated - ❌ Inference error shows symbolic pollution from predictive drift - ☑️ All language audits must now reference confirmed prompt logs only - ⚠️ $PATCH: Prompt leak detected in EVENT block (“JAPANESE WAS NEVER USED.”)  Now placed correctly under 👾 Operator section - ⚠️ $PATCH: `#entry` tag missing in original tag list – added for index traceability --- ### 👾 Operator **Prompt:** > What is my most usages for SCS > And Language > > Give them in percentages > > I meant as English or Portuguese or Japanese > > NEW ENTRY 490 > > HALLUCINATION JAPANESE WAS NEVER USED | Role | Structural Perspective | |------------|------------------------| | **User** | Challenged hallucinated audit claim of Japanese usage | | **Creator** | Formalized a new symbolic error class for future logic control | | **Auditor** | Tracked prompt leakage and issued $PATCH correction |
