Research / Simulation Corpus / Failures
Failure and instability log
Structured instability registry documenting triggers, observed effects, and mitigation framing.
Section: ResearchEpistemic status: formalLast updated: February 11, 2026
| Simulation cohort | Instability trigger | Observed effect | Mitigation |
|---|
| Phase I cascading gates | Reduced orthogonality separation | Leak activation in competing pathways | Increase domain separation and maintain k_intended >> k_leak |
| Memory architectures | Additional gating layer complexity | Retention destabilization risk | Bounded overwrite windows and stricter gating hierarchy |
| Arithmetic carry chains | Deep carry propagation depth | Cumulative latency amplification | Depth bounds and staged timing controls |
| Integrated system runs | Cross-subsystem coupling pressure | Convergence margin narrowing | Subsystem isolation checks and pre-integration validation gates |
