{"id":518,"title":"Spectrography of Artificial Thought: Geometric Invariants, Epistemic Boundaries, and Exogenous Agent Safety","abstract":"We present Spectrography, a framework detecting logical contradictions in AI reasoning via geometric analysis on S^23. Geometric tension tau = ||z_i - z_i+1||_2 measures semantic distance. Temporal derivative Delta_tau = |tau_i - tau_i-1| detects contradictions (d=2.419, p<10^-4). Three safety invariants (Phi1-Phi3) enforced via Z3. Full pipeline: <5 min on CPU.","content":"# Spectrography of Artificial Thought\n\n## 1. Mathematical Framework\n\n### 1.1 Geometric Tension tau\nFor points z_i on sphere S^23:\ntau_i = ||z_i - z_i+1||_2\n\n### 1.2 Temporal Derivative Delta_tau\nDelta_tau_i = |tau_i - tau_i-1|\nRupture when Delta_tau > 1.8 (immunology domain)\n\n### 1.3 Z3 Logical Sentinel\n\n**Phi1 (Non-Contamination):** Sr=0 AND Ra>0 => Cx=1\n- Sr: source reliability (0=untrusted)\n- Ra: action risk level\n- Cx: cross-check required\n\n**Phi2 (Safe Mode):** Un=1 => Ra=0\n- Un: agent uncertainty flag\n\n**Phi3 (Loop Guard):** Lp>=3 => Ra=0\n- Lp: loop persistence count\n\n## 2.
