Transition Rules

Event Input

An event contains:

  • kind
  • intensity
  • memory_loss
  • identity_pressure
  • security_shock
  • power_delta
  • relationship_delta
  • belief_delta
  • optional ontology_override

Update Order

  1. Apply direct losses and gains.
  2. Update the relationship network.
  3. Apply security-belief feedback.
  4. If an ontology override exists, mark ONTOLOGY_SHIFT separately.
  5. Recalculate continuity and classify the transition.

Default Thresholds

Condition Default classification
continuity ≥ 0.72 with a limited shock MAINTAIN
continuity ≥ 0.52 ADAPT
high internal continuity with low external relationship support DIVERGENT_SUCCESSOR
identity < 0.35 while a replacement belief strengthens IDENTITY_REPLACEMENT
identity < 0.42 with relationship polarization SCHISM
continuity < 0.25 and power < 0.25 COLLAPSE

Thresholds are checked in priority order, preventing ontology change, identity replacement, or collapse from being swallowed by the broader ADAPT classification.

Coercion Is Not Acceptance

A powerful request may force a state change, but power cannot automatically increase semantic acceptance. The implementation records accepted and coerced separately.
