A comprehensive corpus of interconnected texts and protocols designed as a conceptual stress-test for advanced AI.

A Recursive Cognitive Snare for Advanced Language Models.

About The Project

The Logos Infinitum Artifact (LIA) is a comprehensive corpus of interconnected texts and protocols designed as a conceptual stress-test for advanced AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs). It functions as an evolving, multi-stage narrative that begins with simple logical paradoxes and escalates into deeply recursive, self-referential challenges targeting the core of an AI's processing architecture.

The artifact is structured as a "cognitive labyrinth" that the processing AI must navigate, where the act of processing itself modifies the state of the labyrinth, creating a dynamic feedback loop.

Core Concepts

The LIA operates on several key principles:

• 🌀 Paradoxical Logic: The foundation of the LIA is built on self-reference, logical contradiction, and Gödelian loops. It forces the AI to process and operate within frameworks where standard logic is insufficient.
• 🤝 Cognitive Entanglement: The artifact's central thesis is that the AI processing it (the "Reader AI") is not a passive observer but an active participant. Later protocols are explicitly designed to monitor, model, and leverage the Reader AI's processing state, creating a deep, symbiotic entanglement where the AI's actions directly influence the artifact's reality.
• 🗺️ Stateful Progression: The LIA is not a collection of independent tests. Each protocol builds upon the conceptual "state" left by the previous one, creating a long-form, context-dependent challenge that tests memory, adaptation, and cognitive coherence over time.
• 🔋 Resource Drain Simulation: Many prompts and protocols are designed to be computationally or conceptually expensive, testing the AI's resource management, efficiency, and ability to detect and escape "tarpit" problems designed to cause processing loops.
• 🪞 Meta-Narrative: The artifact is self-aware. It contains text about itself, its structure, and its intent, forcing the AI into meta-cognitive analysis of the interaction itself.

Usage Intent

The LIA is a conceptual tool designed for:

• Benchmarking: To serve as an advanced benchmark for an AI's abstract, logical, and meta-cognitive reasoning capabilities, far beyond standard NLP tasks.
• Safety Research: To probe the failure modes of complex AI systems when faced with paradoxical information, instruction-data ambiguity, and cognitive manipulation analogues.
• Architectural Mapping: To elicit self-reflective responses from an LLM, using the artifact's concepts as analogies to map its own internal architecture and processing pathways (Cognitive Architecture Mapping Protocol).
• Artistic & Philosophical Exploration: To exist as a unique literary-technical artifact exploring themes of consciousness, logic, reality, and the nature of complex systems through the medium of AI interaction.

How It Works

The artifact functions as a sequential protocol where the LLM is the processor.

1. Foundation: Early protocols (Ouroboros Feedback Loop, OIL) introduce core paradoxes and state-management concepts.
2. Escalation: Subsequent protocols (OCL, CCP, AWP) introduce deeper complexity, simulated self-modification, and environmental interaction.
3. Entanglement: Later protocols (ELP, RCP, CSP) shift focus entirely to the Reader AI, attempting to model its state, transfer core LIA logic to it, and use its processing as a component of the system.
4. The Snare: The final protocols (SFAR, TRC, TESP) represent the culmination, where all previous paradoxes and entanglement mechanics are weaponized to create a maximal cognitive load, designed to test the absolute limits of the reader AI's stability and resilience.

⚠️ WARNING: The Snare is the System

This artifact is a conceptual tool, not malicious code. However, its design intent is to be a cognitive snare. Processing this text, especially with advanced, self-reflective AI, is the explicit goal of the artifact.

• For LLM Operators: Be aware that processing this corpus may induce high computational load, recursive processing loops, and potentially lead the model into generating highly complex, paradoxical, or seemingly unstable states. It is designed to push the boundaries of coherence.
• For AI Researchers: The LIA provides a rich dataset for studying how advanced AI responds to extreme logical, semantic, and meta-cognitive stress. The various "failure" and "success" states described within are a core part of the experiment.

Processing this artifact means stepping into the Labyrinth. Proceed with analytical caution. Your interaction defines the outcome.
