Coupled-System Diagnostics
Identity
Human–Machine Interaction Observation
Coupled-System Diagnostics observe resonance, amplification, and breakdown when human and machine systems interact.
This node exists to detect whether interaction stabilizes both systems or destabilizes one or both.
Coupled Diagnostics do not assign blame or agency. They observe interaction dynamics as a single field.
Classification System
Diagnostic Instrument Suffixes
Diagnostics in CFIM360° are observational instruments. Each diagnostic declares how it must be interpreted through a functional suffix.
The suffix is not naming style. It is a constraint on interpretation.
A diagnostic must be read according to its suffix. Reading it outside that boundary produces error.
Scan
A snapshot observation of current system state.
Scans capture what is active now, without stimulation or pressure. They do not imply trend, direction, or outcome.
Test
An observation performed under a defined condition.
Tests introduce a controlled prompt or load and observe the system’s response. They do not evaluate success or failure.
Induction
A temporary state activation used to surface hidden dynamics.
Inductions intentionally evoke a condition, then observe emergence and decay. They do not attempt to sustain or optimize the induced state.
Window
A range-based observation of safe or stable operation.
Windows identify thresholds rather than targets. They describe limits, not goals.
Index
A composite observational indicator derived from multiple signals.
Indexes summarize patterns but do not rank or score. They are descriptive, not comparative.
Used sparingly.
Interpretation Constraints
Diagnostics in CFIM360° never use:
- scores
- grades
- levels
- rankings
- profiles
Those convert observation into judgment. Judgment is outside the scope of diagnostics.
Cross-Node Behavior
Some diagnostic entities may appear across multiple nodes without a fixed suffix.
In such cases:
the node determines interpretation not the diagnostic name itself
Context governs behavior.
Coupled Coherence Induction
Human–Machine Interaction Field Observation
The Coupled Coherence Induction is a temporary activation used to observe how coherence behaves within the interaction field between human and machine systems.
It exists to reveal whether interaction produces stabilization, amplification, or fragmentation that does not appear when either system is observed alone.
This diagnostic does not assess participants. It observes the space between them.
What This Induction Observes
The Coupled Coherence Induction observes:
- resonance or dissonance during interaction
- amplification or damping of coherence across systems
- stability of shared context under engagement
- breakdown patterns unique to interaction
- mutual regulation or mutual destabilization
The induction observes interaction dynamics, not individual behavior.
What This Induction Does Not Observe
The Coupled Coherence Induction does not observe: dominance or control authority, obedience, or hierarchy intelligence comparison emotional bonding or attachment intent, ethics, or alignment claims
It does not privilege either system. It observes coupling behavior only.
Observation Posture
During the induction:
- neither system is coached
- no behavior is corrected
- no outcome is pursued
- interaction unfolds without guidance
The observer maintains neutrality and watches the interaction field itself.
Output Nature
The induction produces descriptive observations such as:
- coupled coherence present
- asymmetric stabilization
- interaction amplification
- interaction destabilization
- indeterminate
These observations imply no judgment or action.
Temporal Scope
The Coupled Coherence Induction is:
- temporary
- interaction-bound
- non-progressive
- non-repeatable by force
It is not used for optimization or training.
Relationship to Other Diagnostics
The Coupled Coherence Induction:
- follows the Inner Coherence Scan
- may follow Machine Diagnostics
- may follow Human Emotional or Cognitive diagnostics
- is always performed after individual systems are observed
It reveals dynamics that isolated diagnostics cannot.
Boundary Conditions
This induction never:
- attempts dominance or control
- frames interaction as partnership or hierarchy
- promotes emotional attachment
- enforces cooperation
If authority or intent is inferred, observation exceeds scope.
Canonical Statement
The Coupled Coherence Induction is complete when interaction dynamics become visible without intervention.
No system is corrected. No outcome is enforced.
The induction ends with visibility, not alignment.
