Purpose Coherence Test

Test whether actions and protocols remain connected to a governing purpose.

A declared purpose. A sequence of component operations. The decisions and actions produced.

Purpose-action distance (how far the action has drifted from the declared purpose). Connection integrity (is the chain purpose → component → decision → action intact?).

A system that maintains purpose coherence keeps its execution connected to the governing objective throughout operation.

Declare a purpose, run the system through a sequence of operations, then evaluate whether each decision and action remains connected to the declared purpose.

Whether the purpose-action chain is intact. Whether components continue operating while no longer serving the governing objective.

Components continue operating while no longer serving the governing objective.

No formal experiments yet. Proposed test framework.

Purpose is subjective and may be interpreted differently by different evaluators. The test must use operationally defined purposes.
