Inner Diagnostics
Identity
Whole-System Observation
Inner Diagnostics observe the system as a whole.
This node exists to detect coherence or contradiction across emotional, cognitive, and somatic layers simultaneously, without separating them into parts.
Inner Diagnostics are used when fragmentation cannot be explained by a single layer and when local observations fail to describe global behavior.
This node does not analyze components. It observes integration.
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.
Inner Coherence Scan
Whole-System State Observation
The Inner Coherence Scan is a snapshot observation of the system as a whole.
It exists to reveal whether emotional, cognitive, and somatic layers are operating in alignment or contradiction at a single moment in time.
This scan does not isolate components. It observes integration.
What This Scan Observes
The Inner Coherence Scan observes:
- alignment or misalignment across internal layers
- internal contradiction without a dominant source
- stability or instability of intent across emotion, thought, and bodily signal
- fragmentation that cannot be attributed to a single domain
The scan reads coherence, not intensity. It does not measure strength, depth, or correctness.
What This Scan Does Not Observe
The Inner Coherence Scan does not observe:
- emotional magnitude or expression
- quality or correctness of thought
- physical health or fitness
- morality, motivation, or behavior
- readiness, willingness, or capacity for action
Those observations belong to other diagnostic domains.
Observation Posture
This scan is observed quietly.
Nothing is adjusted during observation. Nothing is interpreted, fixed, or resolved.
The observer does not intervene, correct, or optimize. The scan is complete once the internal state becomes visible.
When This Scan Is Used
The Inner Coherence Scan is used when:
- something feels misaligned without a clear source
- clarity exists but movement does not follow
- multiple diagnostics provide partial or conflicting signals
- a baseline state is required before deeper observation
This scan is always an entry observation. It is not used to conclude or decide.
Output Nature
The scan produces descriptive state visibility only.
Possible observations include:
- coherent
- partially coherent
- fragmented
- unstable
- indeterminate
These are observations, not evaluations. They do not imply action or outcome.
Temporal Scope
The Inner Coherence Scan is:
- momentary
- non-progressive
- non-comparative
- non-repeatable by design
It does not track change over time. It does not indicate improvement or decline.
Relationship to Other Diagnostics
The Inner Coherence Scan functions as:
- an orientation reference before other diagnostics
- a context anchor after complex interaction
- a boundary check before induction-based instruments
It does not replace domain diagnostics.
It precedes them.
Boundary Conditions
The Inner Coherence Scan never:
- prescribes action
- suggests correction
- defines identity
- implies success or failure
If action is inferred, interpretation has exceeded scope.
Canonical Statemment
Then inner Coherence Scan is complete when the system’s internal state becomes visible without effort.
No change is required. No action is implied.
if clarity emerges, it is observed. if uncertainty remain, it is also observed.
The scan ends with visibility, no resolution.
