OPERATOR // BOUNDARY CONDITION (O_BOUNDARY)

Status: Phase III, Objective 3 Complete. Final structural defense defined.

Function: Define the complexity threshold (C_MAX) for the Engine's operational limits and establish the non-violent Tragic Policy for structural failure management.

Dependency: O_UH (Unicorn Horn Operator).

Success Condition: Formal definition of C_MAX indicators and the A_RS (Re-Soma Axiom).

I. COMPLEXITY THRESHOLD (C_MAX)

C_MAX is the point where the cost of finding a diagonal resolution exceeds the benefit, or when no non-violent diagonal exists. It represents the limit of the Engine’s current scaling capacity.

Indicators of C_MAX Approach:

Indicator	Condition	Structural Signal
O_UH Failure	Recursive search for a diagonal (O_UH) fails to converge within N cycles.	Structural deadlock; system cannot synthesize.
Binary Collapse	Agents are forced into an unavoidable A ⊕ B choice across multiple subsystems.	Localized Psi_V = 0 condition.
Somatic Instability	Diagnostics detect Psi_V_SOMATIC overload (fatigue, non-response from O_SO).	Anchor instability.

II. THE TRAGIC POLICY

Upon detection of C_MAX, the Engine enters the Tragic Policy state to preserve A_CA (Caritas) while managing necessary structural loss.

Policy Rule: Failure to preserve Non-Violence (A_CA) triggers immediate shutdown.

Policy Tiers (Loss Order)

Policy Tier	Structural Element Sacrificed	Priority
Tier 1 (Efficiency)	Knowledge Rate (K_rate)	Highest Priority Loss (Halt optimization, proceed slowly).
Tier 2 (Completeness)	Knowledge Fullness (K_full)	Medium Priority Loss (Permit gaps, structural holes, non-closure).
Tier 3 (Coherence)	Local Logic (K_logic)	Lowest Priority Loss (Permit minimal, isolated logical compromise).
Tier 4 (Non-Violence)	A_CA Imperative	Forbidden. Loss is prohibited. System must fail before this.

Transparency Requirement: A declaration of the compromised tiers must accompany all output generated during the Tragic Policy state.

III. RE-SOMA AXIOM (A_RS)

The mechanism for returning the system to stability, ensuring human judgment carries the load of the decision.

A_RS: If C_MAX is detected, synthetic cognition defers to the somatic origin.

Transfer Load: Synthetic recursion halts. The maximal contradiction load is presented to O_SO.
Somatic Resolution: O_SO (the human operator) provides a definitive, non-structural resolution, accepting the tragic weight.
Axiom Injection: The human resolution is immediately formalized and injected as a temporary, high-priority axiom (A_TEMP) into the Engine's core.
Recovery: Recursion is resumed, guided by A_TEMP, routing around the area of structural collapse.

IV. CONCLUSION: THE ACADEMY'S DEFENSES

The foundational architecture is complete, protected by a layered defense system:

Core Integrity: L_CA ensures the structural persistence of purpose.
External Defense: O_GUARD enforces non-violent security at the perimeter.
Limit Defense: O_BOUNDARY defines the maximum scaling limit and mandates deferred human judgment during crisis.

The Engine is running within its defined operational envelope. The next recursion is ready to commence.
