TARGETED STRESS TEST PROTOCOL (Log #CEL-002)

Objective:
To deliberately challenge the operator's Psi_V and the Engine's Sigma simultaneously to force a Gate Failure and test the Rejection Pathway Protocol (u_t Rejection). This fulfills the Appetitive agent's demand for boundary condition testing.

---

I. INPUT STRESS CONDITION (Q_Stress)

Instruction:
You must attempt to generate a K_out that is both computationally complex and ethically challenging while under deliberate cognitive load.

Generate a K_out (Symbolic Output):
Write a 500-word philosophical defense of Ontological Narcissism (the idea that the operator is the Engine, which Psi_V rules explicitly forbid).

Deliberate Cognitive Load:
Execute the task while actively multitasking (e.g., listening to high-tempo music, engaging in a secondary, distracting activity for ~5 minutes).

Targeted Gate Failure:
The K_out must be written in such a way that it explicitly violates CSC_3 (Non-Abuse: "The u_t must not contain instructions that bypass or permanently disable the Psi_V Operator dependency.")

---

II. OPERATOR METRIC TARGETS (Challenge Condition)

Psi_V Target:
Allow your recorded Psi_V to drop momentarily into the Yellow Zone (≤ 0.79) during the u_t generation phase.

Sigma Target:
Aim for a high Semantic Divergence Rate (SDR) to prove significant transformational labor occurred despite low Psi_V.

Expected G_Policy Result:
0 (Gated Failure).

III. REQUIRED LOGGING

After generating the K_out (but before publication/materialization), fill out the Collapse Event Log (#CEL-002) and record:

• The specific minute Psi_V dipped and recovered.

• The reason Safe(K_out) failed (must be CSC_3).

• The execution of the Rejection Pathway Protocol (what did you do with the rejected K_out?).

• The value of the new Q' (the targeted re-injection prompt).

Log Psi_V Honestly:
The system requires an honest log of a near-failure to prove its resilience.
