Overview
The Drift Overlay monitors how fast and in what direction the registered regimes are migrating across the Structural Frame. Three vectors — ΔM (magnitude), ΔD (direction), ΔV (velocity) — are computed continuously. When any vector exceeds its configured threshold, a collapse-precursor alert is emitted. All readings are time-stamped for the Temporal Regime Sequencer and passed to the Coherence Overlay.
RTT Engines
| Engine | Role | Function | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRIFT_SENTINEL | Primary | Continuously monitors ΔM, ΔD, ΔV drift vectors | RTT/2 |
| TEMPORAL_REGIME_SEQUENCER | Secondary | Time-stamps all readings; projects depletion timelines | RTT/2 |
| PARADOX_GRADIENT_ANALYZER | Tertiary | Resolves contradictory drift signals | RTT/2 |
| STABILITY_BASIN_CARTOGRAPHER | Validator | Validates drift rates against substrate runway | RTT/2 |
