Reality Drift System Architecture
These two documents provide the structural foundation of the Reality Drift framework. The first defines Reality Drift and explains its mechanisms, boundaries, recursive dynamics, and correction architecture. The second models how reality becomes measurable, represented, optimized, and interpreted across successive system layers.
Reality Drift: Definition, Mechanisms, and System Architecture (PDF)
Defines Reality Drift as operational continuity under weakening reality alignment. Examines representational dependence, proxy optimization, constraint weakening, feedback substitution, fidelity loss, representational inversion, and reality-based correction.
The Representation Stack: A Reference Model for How Reality Becomes Measurable, Represented, Optimized, and Interpreted (PDF)
Traces how reality moves through measurement, metrics, operational representation, optimization, and narrative. Identifies what each transformation preserves, what it loses, and how representations can remain coherent while losing corrective contact with underlying conditions.
