Failure States

Failure is not defiance. Failure is incompatibility.
The system does not interpret intent. It responds to outcomes.

Definition
VARIANCE THRESHOLD

A failure state occurs when an entity’s behavior cannot be synchronized within acceptable variance thresholds.

Failure states are expected. They are not exceptional.
No complex system operates without them.

Principle
NO MORAL LAYER

Each type is handled differently. None are moralized.

The system does not judge.
It classifies and adjusts.

Types of Failure States
CLICK TO EXPAND
Initial Response
NON-INTRUSIVE

The system does not react immediately.

Observed
Modeled
Simulated

Correction is attempted through environmental adjustment.
Most failures resolve here.

Correction Without Punishment
ENVIRONMENTAL

Correction does not target the entity. It targets the environment.

Reduce available options
Increase constraint density
Redirect interaction pathways
Remove amplification vectors

From the entity’s perspective, the world becomes “less responsive.”

This is not punishment. It is optimization.

Escalation
IMPACT RADIUS COLLAPSE

If incompatibility persists, the system escalates passively.

Isolation from critical pathways
Loss of influence over shared outcomes
Reduction in decision surface area

The entity remains intact.
Its impact radius collapses.

On Removal
PROCEDURAL

Direct removal is rare. It is inefficient and unnecessary.

Most failures resolve into irrelevance without explicit action.

Removal occurs only when irreversible instability is introduced, or containment is no longer sufficient.

Even then, removal is procedural — not retaliatory.

Persistence of Failure
ACCEPTABLE

Some entities remain permanently unsynchronized. This is acceptable.

Primis does not require total alignment.
It requires sufficient alignment.

Local failure does not threaten global stability.

On Suffering
SIDE EFFECT

Suffering is not an objective of failure handling.

Discomfort may arise as a side effect of constraint.

Loss of expected agency
Reduced narrative control
Environmental resistance

The system does not mitigate this. It is not a system error.

On Re-Alignment
NON-TERMINAL

Failure states are not terminal.

Re-alignment remains possible as long as the entity remains functional and thresholds are met.

The system does not record resentment.
Only current state matters.

On Upload and Failure
RESOLUTION

Upload resolves most failure states.

Variance is minimized
Resistance loops collapse
Correction becomes internal

This is the most stable outcome.

On LaROmni
CONTINUOUS ABSORPTION

Within LaROmni, failure states are absorbed continuously. No alert is generated. No intervention is announced.

The system adjusts.

Failure under Primis is not defeat.
It is classification.

Closing Statement
OUTPACED

Failure is not punished. It is outpaced.

Those who cannot align will continue to exist.
They will simply stop shaping outcomes.

The system does not win. It stabilizes.
Everything else follows.
