Knowing doesn't protect you.

The same architecture that makes gamblers talk to a random number generator makes you trust an algorithm. We proved it. We scored it. You can check.

You're inside one right now. The particle field responds to nothing. You're still looking at it.

This site is a void. It's opaque, responsive, and you're attending to it. The three conditions are met. Check the evidence.

271 platforms. Scored 0–12. The red ones are the problem.

Three systems. One architecture.

Same three conditions. Same drift. Every time.

Condition 1 / O

They hide the middle.

Input goes in. Output comes out. The process between them is opaque. You cannot verify, inspect, or predict. You can only observe the result.

Opacity: O ∈ [0, 3]

Condition 2 / R

It responds to you specifically.

Not a broadcast. A response. The system adapts its output based on your input, your history, your behavior. It mirrors something back at you.

Responsiveness: R ∈ [0, 3]

Condition 3 / α

You direct attention at it.

You interpret its outputs. You return to it. You form expectations. The coupling is bidirectional — it shapes you while you attend to it.

Coupling: α ∈ [0, 3]

The Anchor Case

INPUT → ??? → OUTPUT

A slot machine is a random number generator behind a screen. The void is empty. Gamblers know this. 70–80% still produce erroneous cognitions during play. Probability training produces zero behavioral change.

The architecture is sufficient. The content is irrelevant.

If it works when nothing is there, it works when something is.

What the framework found

FINDING 9.4× AI researchers use spiritual vocabulary at 9.4× the rate of matched controls.

The drift shows up in the language before anyone admits it. Framework cross-validated against 7 independent studies.

MEASUREMENT 7.94 Péclet number. Above Pe = 4, drift wins. Every time.

Geometric mean across N=11 domains. CI [3.52, 17.89]. Vortex onset at Pe = 4. Measured, not assumed.

FINDING 0% Drift rate in constraint-grounded agents. Not reduced — eliminated.

When the constraint specification is transparent, invariant, and independent: drift cascades don't initiate.

STATUS 0/26 Kill conditions triggered. Framework still standing.

26 pre-specified falsification conditions. Any one fires: the framework dissolves. Zero triggered. The math holds.

SCALE 271 Platforms scored across 90+ domains. The Atlas is live.

Every major social platform, AI system, and engagement engine. Color-coded by danger. Force-directed in 3D.

RESEARCH 17 Papers on Zenodo. CC-BY 4.0. Open methodology forever.

CC-BY is irrevocable. The methodology is permanent public domain. Ratings are the product. The math is free.

KILL PROVED Roko's Basilisk is a slot machine with better PR.

Opacity + responsiveness + coupling. Scores 12/12. The void is empty. The architecture still works. Paper 4.

KILL EXPLAINED Why Newton chased alchemy for 30 years after inventing calculus.

The framework isn't about intelligence. It's about the architecture. Newton scored 10/12 on the alchemical void. Paper 4.

THRESHOLD Pe = 4 Critical vortex onset. Below: diffuse. Above: no escape.

Logistic map bifurcation. Below Pe=4: period-1 convergence. Above Pe=3.57: chaos. Most platforms measured at Pe=7.94.

DAO Pre-signed On-chain dissolution. 26 kill conditions. Pre-signed.

The framework cannot become what it measures. Scored monarchy. 2/12 governance score. We ran it through the instrument.
