Drift Profiles — RTT/1

Profile Dictionary for the Drift Sentinel (DS)#

Drift profiles define the canonical shapes, behaviors, amplification patterns, stability basins, and collapse geometries of drift across conceptual, computational, physical, and dimensional regimes.

These profiles are used by:

• DS‑Detect
• DS‑Vector
• DS‑Envelope
• DS‑Field
• DS‑Amplify
• DS‑Stabilize

Each profile includes:

• definition
• drift signature
• field behavior
• amplification behavior
• basin geometry
• stability envelope
• canonical DS output pattern
