Meaning Drift Sandbox

Interpretation Pipelines

These diagrams mirror the case study: first the current multi-layer pipeline, then the proposed stabilized contract model using an Explicit Intent Contract and Memory Invariant.

Current Interpretation Flow

[User Instruction]
       |
       v
[Safety Layer]
 - risk classification
 - inferred intent
       |
       v
[Policy Interpretation]
 - constitutional / rule-based constraints
       |
       v
[Memory Compression]
 - rewritten or dropped constraints
       |
       v
[Model Reasoning]
 - final output (potential drift)

Stabilized Interpretation Flow

[User Instruction] + Intent Contract
            |
            v
[Safety Check]
 - block/allow only
            |
            v
[Memory Invariant Layer]
 - constraints preserved verbatim
            |
            v
[Model Reasoning]
 - consistent interpretation

Choose an example prompt and see how it can drift through a simulated current pipeline versus a stabilized contract model. This is illustrative – not tied to any specific vendor.

User Instruction (examples only)

Safety Sensitivity

Higher sensitivity increases the chance of over-safety reinterpretation.

Memory Compression

Aggressive compression drops more detail and constraints before reasoning.
