Plain-language summary.

A running system logs many internal numbers at each step.

This paper turns those numbers into a small set of coordinates, like a map. It then checks

whether the system’s regime labels match regions on that map, and whether regime switches

look like jumps. No meaning is read from generated text; only timing signals (input arrival

and “say” timestamps) are used.

Technical summary.

A tick-resolved window of a real-time “cognitive runtime” execution

(1k-node substrate) is analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) on internal

numeric telemetry. In the analyzed window (t ∈ [359521, 385094], n = 16,746 ticks), the

first eight PCs explain 89.18% of standardized-feature variance. Regime-change ticks have

higher per-tick displacement in  ...
