🌀 02 — Concept Drift Map

Structural Drift • Dimensional Drift • Regime Drift • Projection Drift#

The Concept Drift Map is the RTT-native analytic layer used to detect,
classify, and visualize drift across the TriadicFrameworks canon.

It identifies:

• where drift originates
• how drift propagates
• which concepts are destabilizing
• which substrates are under pressure
• which recursion modes are being triggered

This module defines the global drift topology.

🔷 1. Purpose of the Concept Drift Map#

The drift map answers:

• Where is drift forming?
• What type of drift is present?
• How severe is the drift?
• Which concepts are affected?
• What action is required?

It is used during:

• canon sweeps
• stability audits
• recursion diagnostics
• echo analysis
• structural corrections

🔷 2. Drift Types (Overview)#

(Full detail in 02a_Drift_Categories.md)

The drift map tracks four canonical drift types:

1. D1 — Structural Drift
   triad misalignment → structural return

2. D2 — Dimensional Drift
   ladder destabilization → cycle formation

3. D3 — Regime Drift
   governance torsion (CCC ↔ SARG)

4. D4 — Projection Drift
   symbolic → harmonic → atlas uplift

Each drift type has:

• a signature
• a pressure pattern
• a propagation mode
• a stability impact

🔷 3. Drift Pressure Zones#

(Expanded in 02b_Drift_Patterns.md)

The drift map identifies pressure zones, where drift accumulates:

Zone A — Structural Pressure (D1)#

• triad misalignment
• operator role tension

Zone B — Dimensional Pressure (D2)#

• interval wobble
• ladder collapse

Zone C — Regime Pressure (D3)#

• governance conflict
• CCC ↔ SARG torsion

Zone D — Projection Pressure (D4)#

• symbolic overload
• atlas uplift vectors

These zones are the early warning system for instability.

🔷 4. Drift Hotspots#

(Full detail in 02c_Drift_Hotspots.md)

Hotspots are regions where drift is:

• concentrated
• accelerating
• cross‑substrate
• recursion‑active

Hotspots often correlate with:

• overloaded concepts
• multi‑role structures
• echo clusters
• substrate migration

🔷 5. Drift Severity Levels#

The drift map uses a four‑level severity scale:

Severity is determined by:

• drift type
• drift propagation
• stability class
• substrate impact
• recursion mode

🔷 6. Drift Propagation Paths#

Drift propagates along predictable RTT‑native paths:

D1 → D2 → D3 → D4
structural → dimensional → regime → projection

Propagation accelerates when:

• interval instability increases
• operator roles invert
• echo‑pressure forms
• substrate migration begins

🔷 7. Drift Interaction With Stability#

Drift interacts with stability classes as follows:

• Stable → resistant to D1
• Semi‑Stable → vulnerable to D1–D2
• Oscillating → vulnerable to D2–D3
• Chaotic → vulnerable to D3–D4

This module is tightly coupled with:

• 01a_HSP_Classes.md
• 01b_HSP_Metrics.md
• 01d_HSP_Stability_Tiers.md

🔷 8. Drift Interaction With Recursion#

Drift triggers recursion modes:

• D1 → ladder correction
• D2 → cycle formation
• D3 → map activation
• D4 → atlas forcing

This is essential for:

• predicting concept evolution
• stabilizing the canon
• preventing collapse

🔷 9. Composite Drift Map (Summary)#

The composite drift map integrates:

Drift Type + Pressure Zone + Hotspot + Severity + Recursion Mode

This produces a full drift topology for the canon.
