Operationalization Template for GTCS-Informed Safety Evaluation

This template provides adversarial tests, detection metrics, proxy specifications, negative controls, and compliance mappings for operationalizing GTCS structural variables in empirical, computational, institutional, and inter-system domains. The template is intended to support the Cognitive-Continuity Safety Protocol and related GTCS-informed safety evaluations. It does not replace that protocol. Instead, it provides operational test families for measuring access transformation, representation rigidity, overload memory, update admissibility, locking pressure, compensability thresholds, asymmetric burden, identity-continuity preservation, conflict type classification, transformation versus de-escalation, non-identity-bound review independence, protected-invariant stress, and technical self-continuity capture. The template uses proxy-based verification for latent variables. It therefore requires negative controls, proxy convergence checks, threshold transparency, calibration, and sensitivity analysis. Proxy values must not be treated as direct observations of structural variables unless independently validated.
