IPM Protocol Dynamic Regime Sensitivity Analysis

Key Points

The central aim is to analyze how dynamical metrics are affected by thermal noise in coupled systems.
Controlled increase in thermal noise applied to the system during a specific interval.
Measured three projection functionals: Φ* (spectral organization), DIG (temporal autocorrelation), and coherence.
Performed a preliminary sensitivity analysis to evaluate metric responsiveness.
Φ* decreased by 15.9% and DIG decreased by 25.3% during perturbation.
A correlation of 0.594 was found between Φ* and DIG.
Observed metric changes indicate co-responsiveness to global noise, without validating dimensional independence.

Abstract

This experiment analyzes how dynamical metrics respond to controlled perturbations in coupled systems. A controlled increase in thermal noise is applied during a specific interval. The experiment measures three projection functionals: Φ* (spectral organization), DIG (temporal autocorrelation), and coherence (self-model alignment). Results show consistent metric changes during perturbation (Φ*: -15.9%, DIG: -25.3%) and correlation (0.594) between Φ* and DIG. The experiment demonstrates co-responsiveness to global noise, not dimensional independence or epistemological validation of metrics. Note on scope: This is a preliminary sensitivity analysis. The observed correlation may arise from shared dependence on global noise, system energy, or latent field dynamics. This experiment does not distinguish these possibilities.
