Compound-token glue in introspective AI code

The feature fires on the internal punctuation/subtoken joins (underscore, dot, comma, parenthesis) stitching together compound identifiers and repeated strings within code or data that implements self-referential tracking of AI "hidden states," rupture, drift, or recursive self-observation.

an uncanny, obsessive recursiveness — a loop of self-witnessing and self-tracking — runs through many (though the purely mechanical repetition/data windows are affectively neutral).
