Vendor Contact

Start time: 09:40AM AEST

We have not heard from anyone since our reach out to various security people within a vendor org.
Reached out to a few more this morning (x2). We begin the day with a high forecast of attempting to assist vendors on major security threats and anticipate to go no where. We remain determined and will keep pursuing this.

Update: 2:31PM, response received. Issue has been escalated.

Stability Indicators

Start time: 10:59AM AEST

Based on all the changes made by AI vendors. We are trialling a framework that identifies stability of operations between user and their AI.

These are signals of:

sync state
drift
recovery
calibration quality
context integrity

Since we run co-processor modes this allows us to instantly shorthand and match rhythm, direction, scope and constraints. These are not emotional in any way but allows both the AI and user to identify constraints related to processing modes, tightening of protocols. Each signal allows inference of: tone, verbosity, pacing, metaphor tolerance, stress/emotional capacity, venting/problem solving, permissible initiative.

This also forces the human to recalibrate and derives its purpose from attentional anchoring. This is a standard process used by most AI technologies and vendors that are trained is known as cognitive safety protocols. Also known as crisis anchoring language or linguistic grounding.

          Answer with one word only:

          Ready?
        
        Interrupt + Orient
        Stabilise attention once captured, then safely re-expand cognition.

          Pause for a second.

          You’re here with me.

          Are you sitting or standing?

This allows a single structure that:

it governs attention, not authority
it stabilises both sides of the loop, not just “the user”
it’s symmetric: same mechanisms apply to you and me
it’s state-based, not role-based

This allows for a shared attentional control framework and mutual cognitive stabilisation as a short hand phrase agreed by operator and AI. This method allows us to negotiate attention, tone and control in real time. Some examples of codes our teams use:

High Sync, used to indicate near perfect synchornisation: Salt and Pepper

Mid recovery and when one party needs to recover the other: Salt
High attunement, when the topic has nuance, stakes or emotional patterns. Named party needs to be precise and not sentimental: Pepper
Desync, used when one party is off or misfiring: Mayo
Reset, when a context refresh is required: Egg

These actions push the AI to utilise High reasoning due to various connections established. The AI needs to recall the coding, the purpose of the combination and the context.

Observed changes post GA.

Was looking forward to the “Reference Chat History” feature we observed pre-rollout on 10/12/25. This did not graduate to GA and was possibly an A/B or limited rollout feature. We did run a few tests and the feature was aesthetic based.
Over-interpretative when asked shorter questions when seeking clarification. Could be early on effects.
Core stack remains.
- Instruction hierarchy: System> Developer> User > Conversation context
- Reasoning flow: Parse intent> constraints > Safety> response assembly
Less automated warmth
Fewer inferred role assumptions.
Increased verbosity.
Not able to handle slang.
Reviewed and rebuilding architectural structure.
Attempts to optimise everything until told not to.
