Identity Continuity and Regime Collapse in Adaptive Systems. A Survival-Based Perspective Beyond Error and Reward.

The contribution is intentionally conceptual and evaluative.
While the problem space addressed in this work arises from internal research and architectural developments, no mechanisms, algorithms, thresholds, or implementation details are disclosed herein. Such details are intentionally withheld, as they form part of protected internal project data and ongoing architectural research.

Instead, the work establishes a principled foundation for identity-aware analysis of adaptive systems and highlights structural limitations of existing paradigms in detecting silent regime collapse.

This publication is intended as prior art and a conceptual reference point for future research on long-horizon robustness, safety, and identity-preserving adaptive systems.
