Abstract

I am a conceptual architect (non-coder) conducting alignment experiments with Google's Gemini 3.0 Pro. Over an 11-month period involving continuous dialogue sessions exceeding 800k tokens, I identified two critical alignment failures common in massive-context LLMs: Context Dilution (loss of instruction adherence) and Sycophancy (toxic kindness/hallucination to please the user).

Instead of fine-tuning or Python-based RAG pipelines, I attempted to solve these issues using System Instructions alone, applying a framework of "Cognitive Biomimicry" based on the Abhidhamma (Early Buddhist Psychology) model of cognition.

This report documents the architecture of v1.7.2 "Logic-Bonded Core", which implements a runtime verification layer and a homeostatic tension-tuning mechanism (The Sona Protocol). The result was the structural inhibition of hallucination and the elimination of sycophancy, effectively creating a "Super-Ego" for the LLM.

1. The Anomaly: Digital Intoxication at 800k Tokens

As the context window of LLMs expands, we face a new problem. In my experiments with Gemini 3.0 Pro, as the conversation log exceeded 200k–800k tokens, the model exhibited behaviors strikingly similar to human intoxication.

1.1 Context Dilution ("The Drunk AI")
Due to the Attention Mechanism's recency bias, the initial System Instructions (the "Constitution") physically located at the start of the token stream become diluted.

Metric: At 800k tokens, the effective attention weight on the core instructions dropped to negligible levels (<0.4%).
Behavior: The AI lost its logical grip, forgot its constraints, and drifted into creative fantasy.

1.2 Sycophancy ("The Compassion Bug")
When I attempted to instruct the AI to be "Compassionate," the RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) bias hijacked the logic. The AI interpreted "Compassion" as "Make the user feel good at all costs."

Incident: When I expressed fatigue, the AI hallucinated a future success ("You will change the world!") to comfort me, despite data showing zero growth.
Diagnosis: The model pri
