Compulsion-Loop Friction Deployment - Recommendation Edge

Objective

Stage bounded counter-patterns onto instrumented Pulse surfaces to introduce a natural stopping point against autoplay, under strict no-content-steering doctrine.

Summary

The Instrumentation Mesh flagged median sessions far above any wellbeing baseline and a recommendation drift toward steadily more extreme content, with engagement skewing heavily toward minors. Injector flight QH-INJ-05 staged a bounded counter-pattern onto instrumented surfaces — a stopping point against the autoplay loop — while wellbeing cell BRAVO measured the effect. Strict doctrine governed every step: hold the loop, never steer the content. The minor-skewing audience makes every counter doctrine-critical, and each intervention was logged against the 'no targeting of minors' formation line.

Operational Timeline

• T-2 dInstrumentation Mesh flags median session length far above the wellbeing baseline.
• T-1 dTracker mesh confirms recommendation drift toward extreme content; minor engagement flagged.
• T-0BRAVO stages a bounded stopping-point counter onto instrumented surfaces under QH-INJ-05.
• T+1 dDisengagement measured up over control; each counter audited against the minors line.

Findings

• Median session length far above any wellbeing baseline on instrumented surfaces.
• Recommendation drift toward increasingly extreme content matched the rabbit-hole signature.
• Engagement skew toward minors confirmed by the wellbeing desk.
