SomaticMarker

System health acting as an inhibitory emotion

Definition

Mechanism

A 'gut feeling' signal derived from system health metrics (memory pressure, API errors, token budget). High stress generates a negative marker that inhibits action initiation. Utilizes Task.

Invariants

  1. Inhibition Correlation: Action probability inversely proportional to stress
  2. Inhibition: High Stress Score MUST reduce Action Probability
  3. Signal Freshness: Marker reflects current state, not historical average

Risks

Failure modes

None stated.
