### 🧠 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
