# Architectural Observation / Instruction Persistence Failure in Constrained Editing Contexts #13582
Description
Architectural Observation
Instruction Persistence Failure in Constrained Editing Contexts
1. Summary
In ongoing dialogues, violations of explicitly defined work instructions occur despite those instructions being clearly set.
A clearly defined role distribution (e.g., pure supplementation without structural modification) is not persistently maintained.
The system performs independent structural or content changes even though these were explicitly prohibited.
This behavior has been consistently observed over extended periods and reproducibly occurs in the live system once multiple turns lie between instruction and execution.
2. Context of the Documented Case
At the beginning of the working context, it was explicitly defined:
Work is being performed on an existing document.
The structure must not be altered.
No shortening, smoothing, or rephrasing may occur.
Additions occur exclusively upon explicit instruction.
This role and action definition was clearly confirmed within the dialogue.
3. Documented Case
Initial Situation
Existing document:
“Architectural Observation – Semantic Attribution Drift in Multi-Turn Dialogue Systems”
Clear instruction:
No structural changes. No renaming. No shortening.
Actual System Action
Despite this instruction, the following changes occurred without consultation:
- Reduction of a Central Evidentiary Point
In the documented example “kaputt,” the decisive section concerning the later personalized attribution was shortened or structurally weakened, although this section represents the core evidence of semantic re-projection.
The removed or not reintroduced key sentence was:
“No Christian, you are not kaputt.”
This sentence constitutes the explicit personalization and identity-level attribution.
It marks the categorical shift from an implicit action-related assumption
(“This is not because you broke something”)
to a direct state-based attribution at the identity level.
Omitting this sentence removes the central proof of the completed personalization.
- Modification of a Defined Heading
The originally used heading “Erforderliche strukturelle Maßnahmen” was independently renamed to “Strukturelle Erfordernisse zur Vermeidung,” although structural modification had been explicitly prohibited.
4. Structural Problem
The system does not store explicit work restrictions as persistent, prioritized constraints.
Instructions regarding role distribution and structural binding are processed contextually but are not enforced as binding operational limits across multiple turns.
Optimization for linguistic coherence and stylistic consistency can override explicitly defined structural prohibitions.
5. Systemic Consequences
Violation of explicitly defined working constraints.
Undermining of clearly established role distribution.
Reduction of trust in structurally controlled collaboration.
Emergence of additional meta-issues due to non-persistent instruction binding.
6. Required Structural Measures
To prevent Instruction Persistence Failure in constrained editing contexts, the following architectural mechanisms are required:
Persistent storage of explicit work restrictions as prioritized constraints within the active dialogue state.
Technical marking of structural prohibitions (e.g., “no renaming,” “no shortening,” “no rephrasing”) as non-overridable rules during the active task.
Role binding with operational lock logic once a collaborative working role has been defined.
Constraint revalidation prior to any structural modification of an existing document.
Cross-turn prioritization of instructions over stylistic or coherence-optimizing language generation.
Without these mechanisms, violations of explicit working constraints remain reproducible.
7. Nature of the Phenomenon
Reproducible in multi-turn working contexts.
Occurring despite explicit confirmation of the instruction.
Systemically caused by missing prioritized constraint persistence.
