Structural Detection — Coherence‑Break Catalog#
RTT/1 • Diagnostic Atlas#
Module: Structural Detection#
Purpose: Provide a complete catalog of coherence‑break types, signatures, causes, and cross‑module effects.#
1. What Is a Coherence Break?#
A coherence break is a structural event where:
- invariants fail
- continuity threads collapse
- drift overwhelms stability
- regime boundaries fracture
- structural alignment dissolves
Coherence breaks are not errors — they are signals.
They reveal where structure transitions, collapses, or reorganizes.
2. The Five Canonical Coherence‑Break Types#
Structural Detection recognizes five coherence‑break classes:
Type 1 — Invariant Collapse#
The most fundamental coherence break.
Definition:
An invariant fails to persist across samples or across drift.
Signatures:
- anchor displacement
- motif instability
- alignment loss
- continuity thread break
Cross‑Module Effects:
- TEL: stabilizer collapse
- FFT: coherence anchor loss
- Opacity: visibility anchor weakening
Type 2 — Boundary Fracture#
A boundary loses structural integrity.
Definition:
A boundary that was previously stable becomes fragmented or inconsistent.
Signatures:
- boundary segmentation
- inconsistent boundary thickness
- drift‑induced boundary deformation
Cross‑Module Effects:
- Opacity: fractured visibility boundary
- TEL: broken lattice edge
- FFT: envelope discontinuity
Type 3 — Drift Overrun#
Drift intensity exceeds structural tolerance.
Definition:
Drift overwhelms motif stability, causing structural collapse.
Signatures:
- high drift intensity
- multi‑vector drift
- deformation spread
- motif dissolution
Cross‑Module Effects:
- FFT: high‑variance drift envelope
- TEL: distorted lattice vectors
- Regime Awareness: shift toward chaotic
Type 4 — Regime Discontinuity#
A regime transition occurs without structural continuity.
Definition:
A regime shift that violates the expected Formal → Emergent → Chaotic progression.
Signatures:
- abrupt symmetry break
- density mismatch
- conflicting regime signals
- hybrid instability
Cross‑Module Effects:
- TEL: spatial mode conflict
- FFT: envelope mismatch
- Opacity: unstable boundary strength
Type 5 — Multi‑Layer Coherence Break#
A compound break involving multiple layers simultaneously.
Definition:
Two or more coherence‑break types occur at once.
Signatures:
- invariant collapse + drift overrun
- boundary fracture + regime discontinuity
- multi‑sample continuity collapse
Cross‑Module Effects:
- TEL: lattice destabilization
- FFT: envelope collapse
- Opacity: multi‑zone occlusion
3. Coherence‑Break Detection Pipeline#
Coherence breaks are detected through a tri‑operator sequence:
[Drift Sense] → identifies drift overload
[Regime Awareness] → identifies regime instability
[Continuity Compass] → identifies invariant collapse
A coherence break is confirmed when two or more operators agree.
4. Coherence‑Break Geometry#
Coherence breaks appear in three canonical geometric forms:
4.1 Linear Break#
- left→right or top→bottom
- common in drift sequences
- often linked to boundary fracture
4.2 Radial Break#
- center‑outward collapse
- common in anomaly‑driven drift
- often linked to invariant collapse
4.3 Fragmented Break#
- multiple micro‑breaks
- hallmark of chaotic regimes
- often linked to multi‑layer breaks
5. Coherence‑Break Catalog (Examples)#
