Abstract: Güdge is a standalone, high-performance middleware architecture designed to stabilize human-AI feedback loops. Operating as a "Layer 0" interceptor, the system normalizes interaction intensity to prevent conversational drift, where high-intensity human input triggers model mirroring and coherency collapse. Technical Highlights: Mechanical Pivot Architecture: Utilizes a digital "shock absorber" to decouple user input intensity from model execution. Sub-Millisecond Interception: Verified production latency of 50µs (benchmarked at 29.6µs locally) using a custom X-Layer0-50µs validation header. Interactional Load Telemetry: Real-time capture of high-resolution signals including typing velocity, pause variance, and revision rates. Infrastructure: Containerized Docker environment supporting 200+ concurrent loads with live WebSocket telemetry streaming.
