Closed-Loop Deterministic Correction of AI Behavioral Drift

A closed-loop system that detects behavioral drift and attempts escalating correction, revealing a boundary between correctable and architecturally irreversible change.

Abstract

This paper extends ABIS from monitoring into response. It describes a three-level escalation protocol for attempting correction after drift detection and reports that much of the observed drift resists prompt-level intervention.

What it establishes

  • Detection alone is not enough for operational governance.
  • Some drift is surface-level and correctable.
  • Some drift appears deeper and behaves like architectural change.

Why it matters

The paper makes the monitoring system operational. It introduces the idea that alerts should be classified by intervention possibility, not simply by severity.
