Drift Signatures

Final Drift‑Envelope Identities (FFT 2026 Edition)#

Overview#

Drift Signatures are the compressed diagnostic identities produced by the Drift Analyzer.
Each signature summarizes:

• drift category (D0–D7)
• drift vectors
• drift magnitude
• drift sources
• collapse risk
• key notes

These signatures allow frameworks to be indexed, compared, and tracked across drift evolution.

Signature Format#

All drift signatures follow the canonical structure:

category: <D0–D7>
vector: <drift vector or none>
magnitude: <none/low/moderate/high>
collapse_risk: <none/low/moderate/high/critical>
notes: <freeform observations>

Signatures#

Systems Thinking Framework#

category: D1 (Operator Drift)
vector: none
magnitude: low
collapse_risk: none
notes: minor operator imbalance; no structural or dimensional instability

Ethical Decision Model#

category: D0 (Null Drift)
vector: none
magnitude: none
collapse_risk: none
notes: stable coherence and dimensional behavior; no drift detected

Narrative Analysis Model#

category: D2 (Dimensional Drift)
vector: D3 → D2 (partial collapse)
magnitude: moderate
collapse_risk: moderate
notes: paradox exposure and operator imbalance weaken dimensional stability

Regime‑Layer Framework#

category: D3 (Regime Drift)
vector: R2 → R1
magnitude: moderate
collapse_risk: moderate
notes: regime instability detected; paradox interfering with regime transitions

High‑Paradox Framework#

category: D5 (Paradox Drift)
vector: C2 → C1
magnitude: high
collapse_risk: high
notes: paradox overload destabilizing coherence; collapse likely without correction

Collapse‑Stage Framework#

category: D6 (Collapse Drift)
vector: D3 → D2
magnitude: high
collapse_risk: critical
notes: collapse vectors active; paradox and operator imbalance driving regression
