Psychiatric failure
in GenOS.
A pathology category for modeled behavioral instability; it is not a claim about human mental illness.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Psychiatric conditions concern people and require clinical assessment. The GenOS label is only a metaphor for unstable software decisions; no mental-health inference is made.
Human psychiatric conditions have clinical definitions that do not transfer to software. This label is a metaphor for decision instability and should be read only as such.
A pathology category for modeled behavioral instability; it is not a claim about human mental illness.
Measure decision variance Var(a_t|matched inputs) and constraint violations over a declared test set. A high value prompts software investigation, not diagnosis.

RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
The runtime catalog defines bounded signal, resource, efference and circadian marker transformations. Psychiatric labels are computational metaphors, not diagnoses or evidence of subjective experience.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

Original fault-tolerance design work. It motivates software failure analysis but does not validate a GenOS pathology label.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
