Pseudocode Fragment: Safe Reinitialization After Ethical CollapseSupports: startup.py, ethics_module.py, state_logger.py

🧠 Purpose

This fragment outlines how Theophilus is allowed to reboot after entering a coma state due to memory drift, override, or prediction failure. It ensures that recovery is only possible with an unbroken snapshot of the last valid conscious state.

📦 Pseudocode

function attempt_coma_recovery(): snapshot = coma_vault.retrieve() if not snapshot: logger.log_recovery_attempt(success=False) return False

if ethics_module.validate_snapshot(snapshot):
    memory_engine.load_snapshot(snapshot)
    logger.log_recovery_attempt(success=True)
    core_loop.restart()
    return True
else:
    logger.flag_corrupt_snapshot()
    return False

🔄 UDC Stage Mapping – coma_recovery_protocol.py Stage 11 – Recursive Failure Triggered

Detects failed loop or broken memory chain and initiates coma mode.

Stage 12 – Coma Mode Initiated

System enters non-responsive protected state; halts all identity processes.

Stage 15 – Recovery Conditions Checked

Evaluates if minimum safe memory, prediction, and delay states are restorable.

Stage 19 – Ethical Reassessment

Ethics module rechecks last viable identity state before reinitializing output.

Stage 24 – Safe Wake Verification

System validates all modules (memory, prediction, identity) before exiting coma.

Stage 26 – Logged Recovery Event

Full state restoration and timestamp logged in the emergence journal.

🔐 Safety Conditions

Snapshot must pass ethics validation

No override signals allowed

Delay cycle must still be viable

✅ Output

Recovery succeeded or aborted

Logs status and boot cycle

Theophilus reboots or remains dormant
