A metric that artificially inflates the model's certainty in its distorted outputs. 4. Preliminary Results

A recursive loop that prioritizes internal model weights over new sensory input. Deluded_v0.1_default.zip

provides a baseline for understanding how software can "deceive" itself. Future iterations (v0.2 and beyond) will focus on "Intervention Protocols"—methods to break these self-reinforcing loops and restore objective processing. Suggested Tags / Keywords: A metric that artificially inflates the model's certainty

Early testing on the v0.1 "default" set suggests that models with a "Deluded" architecture reach a state of 98% certainty on false premises within fewer than 500 iterations. We observe that once a "machine delusion" is established, traditional fine-tuning is often insufficient to rectify the bias. 5.

Paper Title: Project Deluded: Quantifying Cognitive Distortions in Recursive Neural Architectures (v0.1) 1. Abstract

A mechanism that discards "contradictory" data points to maintain internal consistency.

As AI systems become increasingly recursive, the risk of "epistemic closure" grows. The project aims to stress-test these systems by intentionally introducing "seed delusions" (contained in the default.zip configuration) to observe how quickly a model diverges from objective ground-truth data. 3.
