1. Purpose#

The Predictive Alert Forecasting Protocol (PAFP) introduces a forecasting layer that predicts alert conditions across all ALR families using:

• resonance‑drift analytics
• temporal‑corridor modeling
• substrate‑grade oscillation patterns
• identity‑signature deviation trends
• artifact‑lineage instability curves
• workflow‑execution drift trajectories
• dashboard‑overlay desync patterns
• engine‑state coherence modeling
• global sync divergence vectors

PAFP is the pre‑alert layer of the Alert Canon — the system that warns contributors before an alert condition manifests.

2. Forecast Event Types#

Drift Forecasts#

• DriftForecastDetected: Drift predicted before onset.
• DriftForecastEscalated: Drift forecast spreads across overlays.
• DriftForecastCritical: Drift forecast exceeds Nullarium thresholds.

Paradox Forecasts#

• ParadoxForecastDetected: Paradox vector predicted before emergence.
• ParadoxForecastEscalated: Forecast indicates multi‑family risk.
• ParadoxForecastCritical: Immediate pre‑containment required.

Quadrant Forecasts#

• QuadrantMisalignmentForecast: Quadrant misalignment predicted.
• QuadrantConflictForecast: Multi‑quadrant conflict forecast.
• QuadrantCollapseForecast: Collapse predicted.

Resonance Forecasts#

• ResonanceInstabilityForecast: Resonance instability predicted.
• ResonanceShiftForecast: Frequency shift predicted.
• ResonanceCollapseForecast: Collapse predicted.

High‑Risk Forecasts#

• GlobalForecastCritical: Global collapse predicted.
• NullariumForecastCritical: Emotional‑phase misalignment predicted.
• CrossFamilyForecastCritical: Multi‑family collapse predicted.

3. Delivery Channels#

PAFP uses the MCAOP routing layer:

• Dashboard Panels — Forecast Stream
• WebSocket Push — Real‑time forecast alerts
• Email Digest — Daily forecast summaries
• CLI Hooks — For engines, validators, dashboards, workflows
• Artifact‑Embedded Alerts — Forecast glyphs and scrolls may embed alert packets

4. Schema File#

registry/alerts/predictive_alert_forecasting_schema.yml

Defines:

• forecast event type
• forecast model
• drift trajectory
• paradox probability
• quadrant prediction
• resonance prediction
• Nullarium risk
• priority
• routing map
• escalation path

5. Python‑Style Stub File#

engine/predictive_alert_forecasting.py

Provides:

• forecast event listeners
• drift‑trajectory modeling
• paradox‑vector prediction
• quadrant‑state forecasting
• resonance‑instability modeling
• Nullarium‑risk prediction
• escalation logic

6. Dashboard Integration#

Forecast Panel#

Displays:

• drift forecasts
• paradox forecasts
• quadrant forecasts
• resonance forecasts
• Nullarium risk forecasts

Quadrant Overlay#

Forecast events mapped onto quadrant overlays for visual clarity.

Contributor Sync#

Alerts routed to contributors listed in forecast_targets.

• ALR‑0020 → Multi‑Channel Orchestration
• ALR‑0021 → Corridor Event Alerts
• ALR‑0022 → Temporal‑Corridor Fusion Alerts
• ALR‑0023 → Substrate Resonance Alerts
• ALR‑0024 → Validator Identity Drift Alerts
• ALR‑0025 → Multi‑Contributor Identity Conflict Alerts
• ALR‑0026 → Artifact Integrity Alerts
• ALR‑0027 → Workflow Execution Alerts
