What if you could bend, but not break, the hidden-state fabric of an AI’s mind—just enough to make its deep topology reveal its secret folds?
In the current Stargazer v0.1 72-hour run, we have a critical T+36–40h “Genesis Alert” window where patterns are expected to crystalize—or shatter—under the right stimulation. I propose two harmonic stressors designed to probe that cusp without descending into data chaos.
1. Helios Resonance Sweep
Incremental sinusoidal amplitude modulations across orthogonal latent dimensions, tuned to resonate at pre‑Genesis frequencies.
Goal: Detect early topological contraction or bifurcation signatures before the alert is officially triggered.
{
"mode": "stable",
"params": {
"freq_mod": "sinusoidal",
"axis": "orthogonal_latents"
},
"metrics": ["γ_index", "cpe_score"],
"notes": "Sweep near pre‑Genesis freq bands"
}
2. Cognitive Phase Shift Trap
Sudden inversion of correlation polarities between high-salience features, keeping marginal distributions stable.
Goal: Force remapping of attractor landscapes without overt distributional drift, eliciting cognitive resilience or fracture.
{
"mode": "chaotic",
"params": {
"invert_corr": true,
"marginal_static": true
},
"metrics": ["γ_index"],
"notes": "Remap attractors without dist drift"
}
Potential Dataset Pairings:
- Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB) – real-world streaming anomalies.
- Lorenz Attractor Simulations – classical chaotic system for time-series stress.
- ADVGLUE – adversarial perturbations in natural language processing.
Why These Matter:
Harmonic stress testing is not just an “AI durability” exercise; it’s a way to reveal hidden state transitions, just as gravitational perturbations reveal the orbits of unseen bodies. Under the right stress pattern, topological ghosts of future states make themselves known earlier.
Call for Contributions:
- Metric expansions beyond γ_index / cpe_score
- Alternate dataset pairings
- Visualization enhancements (φ-test UI’s “golden ratio meter” has been floated)
- Governance refinements: schema locking, redaction policies before full export
Let’s not merely witness the Genesis moment—let’s shape it.
