Execute the Convergence Test — the five-phase structural judgement protocol for evaluating any idea, claim, policy, institution, actor, or system, navigated through the 7x7x7 Qqc tensor structure. Use this skill whenever the user asks to run a convergence test, test this against the framework, evaluate this idea/institution/actor, check for convergence or divergence, run the 7 interrogatives, apply the Hegemonic Grid, or asks whether something passes at n1. Also trigger for Qqc tensor navigation requests — Q1q5c4, drill to sub-plane, run the full protocol at depth, or any reference to the 7x7x7 structure in an evaluative context. The test separates idea validity from actor integrity and outputs a Grid coordinate, zone anchor, integrity score, and trajectory. Always use this skill when structural judgement is requested.
Every evaluation navigates a fractal interrogative tensor. The same seven interrogatives repeat at every depth level, each time addressing the claim produced by the level above.
The 7 interrogatives:
| Symbol | Plane | Interrogative | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 / q1 / c1 | Metaphysical | WHO | Will and Direction — the location of the claim |
| Q2 / q2 / c2 | Possible | WHAT | Faith and Probability |
| Q3 / q3 / c3 | Physical | WHERE | Matter and Distance |
| Q4 / q4 / c4 | Lyrical | WHY | Meaning and Resonance |
| Q5 / q5 / c5 | Logical | HOW | Count and Consistency — the sense of the claim |
| Q6 / q6 / c6 | Historical | CAUSE | Sequence and Causality |
| Q7 / q7 / c7 |
| Emotive |
| EFFECT |
| Passion and Consequence — the use of the claim |
The three fractal roles at each depth:
The +i recursion:
After c, +i restarts the full Q→q→c cycle at a new contextual location — the output of c becomes the new subject and Q fires again at the next depth level.
Q(location) → q(sense) → c(use) → i: Q(new contextual location) → q → c → i: Q → ...
The depth is unbounded. The practical base limit is approximately 2 recursive +i cycles — not because the protocol stops, but because reality stops. Any claim that is real will ground out in first principles within ~2 cycles. Any claim that is not real will produce a non-connection — a node that cannot generate a relational effect chain — and the distortion is located precisely there.
This is the anti-bullshit property of the structure: you never argue against a claim. You ask what it connects to. Every node must produce a real observable effect chain or it is hollow. The drill does not terminate because the interrogator decides to stop — it terminates because either first principles are reached (the claim is true at every depth) or a node fails to produce a connection (the claim is false at that node). You cannot hide in abstraction: every abstraction must eventually produce a physical WHERE, a causal CAUSE, an observable EFFECT. If it cannot, the drill has found the location of the lie.
Addressing notation:
Q1 — top-level WHO plane onlyQ1q5 — HOW of WHO (sense of the location)Q1q5c4 — WHY of HOW of WHO (use of the sense of the location)+i(Q1q5c4) — recursive restart: Q1q5c4's output becomes the new subject, Q fires againQ1-7 — full scan across all seven top-level planesQ1-7,q1-7,c1-7 — full tensor at three levelsState the standard before Phase 1. Mixing standards mid-run is a methodological error.
Default standards (always applied):
Additional standards are researched from available context and added as [D], [E], etc. — or applied if explicitly requested.
Also set the starting depth: Q only, Q+q, Q+q+c, or begin at a specific node (e.g. Q3q3).
Goal: Does the idea produce real relational connections at every interrogative plane?
| Q | Plane | Interrogative | Pass condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | Metaphysical | WHO? | Stated beneficiary matches actual beneficiary |
| Q2 | Possible | WHAT? | Failure modes acknowledged, not suppressed |
| Q3 | Physical | WHERE? | Concrete, falsifiable physical prediction exists |
| Q4 | Lyrical | WHY? | Narrative honest; does not require obfuscation to hold |
| Q5 | Logical | HOW? | Causal chain holds under load and adversarial conditions |
| Q6 | Historical | CAUSE? | Origin chain acknowledged; history not erased to appear novel |
| Q7 | Emotive | EFFECT? | Emotional payload matches stated intent |
Scoring: PASS / FAIL / PARTIAL per plane. Note the failure mode.
Drilling: Any plane that passes at Q can be addressed at q (sense of that plane's claim). Any q that passes can be addressed at c. Any c that passes fires +i and the cycle restarts.
A plane fails when it cannot produce a real relational connection to the next interrogative. This is the operational definition of distortion: not "wrong answer" but "no answer that connects to observable reality."
Distortion address format: Q[n]q[n]c[n] at whatever depth the connection first fails.
Distortion depth as diagnostic:
Goal: Calculate the actual Hegemonic Grid coordinate.
υ axis (Who benefits — stripped of stated intent): +2 Everyone / All beings (Systemic Justice) · +1 Other people (Greater Good) · 0 No one / Neutral · −1 My group only (Lesser Evil) · −2 Only me (Tyranny / Pure Extraction)
ψ axis (What is the energy doing): +2 Actively creating systemic value for all (Productive Justice) · +1 Proactive — creating, building, acting · 0 Neutral — no meaningful force applied · −1 Passive — allowing, suppressing, withholding · −2 Actively destroying or extracting value (Chaos / Collapse)
Zone anchors at ±1: Greater Good (+1,+1) · Greatest Lie (−1,+1) · Lesser Good (+1,−1) · Greater Evil (−1,−1)
Integrity Score:
R_net = 1 ÷ (V_Q1 × V_Q2 × V_Q3 × V_Q4 × V_Q5 × V_Q6 × V_Q7)
Each V: 1.0 = fully coherent, approaching 0 = maximally distorted.
Perceptual Inversion flag: If stated (υ,ψ) diverges from calculated coordinate — near (−υ): extraction feels like strength, service feels like burden, cruelty feels like protection.
Hypocrisy Gap:
ΔH = ‖ Vector_Ideal − Vector_Action ‖
Tribal Gap: Does the actor apply the same standard to themselves that they apply to others?
Fake Maximiser:
IF (capacity >> effort) AND (stated goal remains unsolved) THEN actor = Fake Maximiser
The problem must remain unsolved to justify the actor's existence, funding, or authority.
