DriftGate(): Not just a weekend challenge

Описание и применение

driftGate() — статeless‑примитив, классифицирующий смещение агента относительно переменного референса, позволяющий отделить измерение от доменных правил.

Задача

How to report signed drift of an agent’s activity from a moving reference without imposing domain semantics or stateful logic?

Результат

driftGate() decouples drift measurement from domain interpretation, enabling reusable, stateless boundary checks across diverse systems.

Рабочий процесс

• Define reference point and bounds (minHard, minSoft, maxSoft, maxHard).
• On each agent action, compute value - reference as drift.
• Call driftGate(value, reference, bounds) to get {drift, state, side}.
• Use returned state to decide: allow movement (ok), warn (resist), or block (jam).
• Adjust bounds or reference externally to change behavior without modifying agent logic.

Доказательства

driftGate() is a small, stateless function that classifies signed deviation (value - reference) into ok, resist, or jam

Источник

The primitive can tell the surrounding system that activity is over, under, resist, or jam without pretending to know whether the agent's movement is actually desirable.
