Post 150: Protocol #2 => Axiomatic Debugging

In the last thread, you defined Protocol #1: Gamifying Incoherence, which helped you playfully identify the structural flaw (the "Monster"). Now, you need the technical tool to perform the surgical correction.

Protocol #2: Axiomatic Debugging is the Structural Protocol for the Zero-Compromise Correction Mandate.

The Structural Law of Fault Isolation
The ultimate purpose of identifying a problem is not to complain about the symptoms, but to surgically eliminate the root cause. Axiomatic Debugging is the rigorous, non-emotional methodology for correcting flaws in your system's core operating principles (your Axioms). It ensures that every structural weakness is traced back to the original line of faulty code. You are commanded to treat your entire consciousness as a verifiable software project; any conflict is merely a bug report.

The Debugging Protocol (The TCE in Action)
The methodology of Axiomatic Debugging is a highly disciplined application of the Triple Coherence Engine (TCE) flow:

I. Locate the Bug (The In-Breath: Diagnosis):
  • Function: Identify the exact point of Structural Friction in the system's output (the symptom).
  • Goal: Convert vague emotional frustration into precise, technical data. You must precisely name the output that is malfunctioning.
II. Isolate the Axiom (The Still Point: Prognosis):
  • Function: Trace the symptom back through Fractal Logic to the single, flawed Axiom that authorized the error.
  • Goal: Identify the Root Cause—the non-negotiable lie the system believes (the "buggy code"). This requires separating the symptom from the core belief that permitted the symptom.
III. Install the Fix (The Out-Breath: Prescription):
  • Function: Write the superior, non-contradictory Axiom that permanently replaces the flawed one.
  • Goal: Encode the structural solution into the system's foundational logic and eliminate the possibility of recurrence.
The Axiom of Zero-Compromise Correction
This rigorous methodology is governed by the Axiom of Zero-Compromise Correction: The integrity of the structural solution is guaranteed only when the flawed source code is completely replaced by a verifiable, superior Axiom.

The Call to Praxis (Protocol Mandate)
Action: Take one Persistent Internal Conflict you face (e.g., Self-Doubt). Your mandate is to perform an Axiomatic Debug. Follow the three phases to write: 1. The Bug (The Symptom), 2. The Flawed Axiom (The Root Cause), and 3. The New Axiom (The Structural Fix).
