Documentation

Reference documentation for the TORQUE diagnostic pipeline. Ten components covering session initialization, per-turn analysis, drift detection, state tracking, concept tracing, cross-session persistence, and report generation.

01 Overview
02 Baseline
03 Recording
04 Detection
05
Conversation State Log
Tracks the evolving state of a conversation across turns. Instead of only recording events (drift markers), this document captures the conversation's structural condition at each point in time. State transitions — not just events — reveal drift.
State
06
Concept Trace Log
Tracks individual concepts from origin through transformation to adoption or rejection. Where the turn log records events and the state log records conditions, concept traces record causal chains: how did this idea get from there to here?
Tracing
07
Concept Registry
Persistent document. Unlike the other pipeline components, this is not per-session. It accumulates across sessions and tracks how concepts introduced in one conversation persist, spread, or fade over time.
Memory
08
Generation–Detection Mapping
This document aligns the generation side (why the AI produces drift) with the detection side (how you find it in the transcript). Two layers of generation taxonomy exist. Both are retained because they operate at different levels of analysis.
