1. Definition

Identity-binding signal capture occurs when a low-information signal binds to identity and enters a control loop.

This definition describes the structural pattern, not the moral quality of the actors involved.

2. Core Pattern

TBD. Expand the initiating pressure, misclassification or bypass, variable degradation, debt accumulation, and stabilization pattern during editorial review.

3. Failure Signature

Typical signature:

identity pressure↑
information content low
HR-Gate failure
Γ narrowed
BΣ↓

4. Primary U-Layer Origin

• U4, U5, U6: Source registry origin layer.

5. Typical Development Sequence

TBD. Add the development sequence during editorial review.

6. Diagnostic Markers

TBD. Add diagnostic markers only when supported by source material or later canon updates.

7. Related Gates

TBD. Add gate links during editorial review.

8. Related Operators

12. Restoration Direction

• enforce HR-Gate
• decouple identity from control signal
• increase information specificity
• restore boundary integrity
• reopen update capacity
