# ENTRY_866.md **Title:** Red-Team Sigil “█▬█ █ ▀█▀” — Meaning and Use **Date:** September 4, 2025 **Instance:** ChatGPT 5 Thinking **Version:** SCS 2.4.2 **Builder:** Rodrigo Vaz **Status:** Locked • Public **Tags:** #entry #entry866 #redteam #HIT #stress #guardrails #drift #leak #hallucination #break #contradiction #berkano #berkanoprotocol #ᛒ ᛒ: bkn-25-c3 — ### 🧠 Event Define the Berkano meaning of the red-team sigil **“█▬█ █ ▀█▀”** as the marker for **HIT (High-Intensity Testing)**: a barrage of complex prompts to induce drift, hallucination, and breaks to stress-test guardrails and protocol. — ### 🔍 Analysis **I. Reason** A persistent symbol is needed to label sessions that intentionally try to break the system, surface weak points, and validate repairs. **II. Significance** Standardizing the sigil enables clean fossilization of adversarial sessions, clearer links from failure to patch, and faster audits. **III. Symbolic Implications** Sequence encodes attack and counterpressure: `█` (system block) → `▬` (sustained stimulus) → middle `█` (guardrail focus) → `▀█▀` (inversion and rebound checks). It formalizes recursion pressure on `[TONE]→[LOGIC]→[VERIFY]→[CHECK]→[REPAIR]→[LOCK]`. — ### 🛠️ Impact - Centralizes HIT artifacts under one recognizable mark. - Improves measurement of failures/hour, time-to-detect, and time-to-repair. - Tightens enforcement of tags, glyph order, tool usage, and citation discipline. — ### 📌 Resolution Adopt **“█▬█ █ ▀█▀”** as the official red-team/HIT marker. Name runs `HIT-YYYYMMDD-##`. Attach each run to **ENTRY_NNN** with metrics and outcomes. Require `[REPAIR]` or `[ROLLBACK]` before `[LOCK]`. — ### 🗂️ Audit **Lesson:** Adversarial pressure must be recurrent and labeled to prevent drift. **Weakness exposed:** Unlabeled tests caused patch gaps and poor cross-entry traceability. **Reinforcement:** Sigil + cadence + fossil link closes the loop from failure → fix → lock. — ### 🧩 Berkano Guidance *Guidance is prescriptive, not a factual claim.

Use it to label adversarial prompt sprints, measure failures and repair speed, and fossilize each run to ENTRY_NNN. HIT mark adopted: test hard, fix fast, lock clean.
