Diagnostic frameworks assess cognitive infrastructure and self-correction failures in AI governance, indicating critical operational risks.
This bundle contains two diagnostic frameworks from the Reality Drift framework: a self-correction failure checklist for detecting when systems continue functioning after feedback stops correcting behavior, and a cognitive infrastructure failure reference for examining AI-mediated sense-making environments. Together, the documents describe how complex systems, institutions, and cognitive environments can preserve coherence, fluency, and operational continuity while losing contact with reality, constraint, and consequence. The bundle is intended for use in AI governance, organizational diagnosis, cognitive infrastructure research, system design, and drift detection.
