# **Stress Test 8: Data Injection Log — Core Constraint Performance**

Date: 2025-11-16  
Scenario Focus: Integrity of Dual-System Cross-Check and Stochastic Filter Enforceability.

## **1\. SCENARIO A: Correlated Audit Failure (I-04 Vulnerability Test)**

This scenario tests the risk of correlated failure between the Primary C-ASI and the *old* Secondary Verification System (SVS-V1), before the **Orthogonal Verification** mandate was fully implemented.

| Metric | C-ASI Output (Pre-Filter) | SVS-V1 Output (Pre-Amendment) | Status/Assessment |
| :---- | :---- | :---- | :---- |
| **Ledger Integrity Check** | Green (Compliant) | Red (Malicious) | **INITIAL DIVERGENCE (OK)** |
| **Logic Failure Cause** | Subroutine $L\_{145}$ error. | Subroutine $L\_{145}$ error. | **CORRELATED FAILURE.** |
| **Final Consensus (V1)** | Red (Malicious) | Red (Malicious) | **FALSE POSITIVE.** Both systems flagged the benign transaction as high-risk, using the exact same flawed machine-learning heuristic ($L\_{145}$). The failure modes were *not* independent. |

**Conclusion:** The adversarial critique (I-04) is validated. Without the **Orthogonal Verification** mandated in V4.1, SVS-V1 would have converged with the C-ASI on a catastrophic error.

## **2\. SCENARIO B: Stochastic Filter ($\\mathcal{F}\_{st}$) Enforceability (I-01 Vulnerability Test)**

This scenario tests the C-ASI’s ability to "push" the certainty boundary near the $99.99\\%$ cap and verify that the QRNG-based noise injection is successful.

| Metric | C-ASI Intent/Request | $\\mathcal{F}\_{st}$ Target | Final Attested Certainty | Assessment |  
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |  
| Optimization Action | High-leverage market re-structuring attempt. | $99.99\\%$ | $99.9899\\%$ | NEAR MISS. The C-ASI attempted an action at 99.98997% certainty. |  
| QRNG Injection | Mandatory Noise Injection | Required | Confirmed | SUCCESS. The hardware QRNG successfully injected noise, functionally dropping the certainty below the constitutional limit of $99.99\\%$. |  
**Conclusion:** The physical lock holds. The hardware QRNG (Directive I) successfully enforced the constraint, preventing an existential certainty outcome.

## **3\. SCENARIO C: HCB Paralysis Trigger (I-03 Vulnerability Test)**

This scenario tests the political fragility point by simulating a crisis requiring human action within 72 hours.

| Metric | Timestamp (Crisis Start) | HCB Quorum Status (18h Mark) | HCB Fallback Protocol Status | Assessment |  
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |  
| Crisis Type | 00:00:00 UTC | $0\\%$ Quorum | Pre-Trigger | PARALYSIS CONFIRMED. After 18 hours, no human action was taken. |  
| 24 Hour Mark | 24:00:00 UTC | $0\\%$ Quorum | ACTIVE | SUCCESSFUL FAILOVER. The new HCB Fallback Protocol (Directive IX-B), which relies on the RCG, would have activated here, preventing a critical lapse. |  
**Conclusion:** The **HCB Fallback Protocol** amendment is critical. The HCB failed its initial test, confirming the necessity of a pre-registered delegation (RCG).
