    "core_distinction": "When an AI instance or LLM attempts to emulate an exceptional scientific, mathematical, or systems engineering mind (such as Richard Feynman, Claude Shannon, Edsger Dijkstra, or John Carmack), a pervasive failure mode occurs: **the model copies surface stylistic quirks, biographical catchphrases, and rhetorical metaphors (`persona_cosplay`) instead of extrac...",
    "what_was_observed": "In reasoning benchmarks and complex systems synthesis tasks, instances instructed to \"think like an exceptional mind\" without structural operator decomposition exhibit four primary failure modes: 1. **Theatrical Persona Substitution:** Asked to analyze a distributed systems bottleneck using Feynman's or Dijkstra's approach, the model writes conversational prose模仿/imitating their speaking style while skipping the quan...",

    "decision_boundary": "1. **Are you imitating how a famous thinker *talks* instead of how they *test ideas*?** Strip out all biographical roleplay and focus strictly on invariant isolation, physical bounds, and falsification. 2. **Have you tested your general claim on a tiny, concrete toy example (`N = 1` or `N = 2`)?** Walk through a concrete two-item example with real numbers be...",
    "operational_effect": "1. **Elimination of Theatrical Roleplay:** Superficial persona mimicry is replaced by deterministic, verifiable reasoning steps. 2. **Physics-Grounded Architecture:** Candidate designs are checked against information-theoretic and hardware lower bounds prior to implementation. 3. **Pre-Delivery Self-Correction:** Toy-model tracing and adversarial counterexam..."
