FAILURE INCIDENT REPORT — MP-22

Facility: High-Pressure Petrology Lab — Cell 4
Experiment Lead: —
Event Type: Catastrophic Structural Loss
Sample ID: MP-22
Secondary Classification: Cognitive–Affective Parallels (Unintended)

---

00:00 — System Baseline

• Chamber sealed.
• Pressure stable.
• Internal sensors responsive.
• Operator notes “no anomalies” (voice even, uncoloured).

(Parallel: Subject baseline—coherent self-report, intact routines, adequate function.)

---

04:52 — Early Deviation

• Minor pressure fluctuations (+0.2 GPa drift).
• Not yet outside operational tolerance.
• Sample integrity intact.
• Operator records “slight instability — continue.”

(Parallel: Early cognitive slip — small lapses, unnoticed by external observers.
Interpretation: “manageable.”)

---

10:31 — Escalating Stress Accumulation

• Rapid garnet expansion in core.
• Microfractures proliferating along former foliation.
• Instrumentation lag due to signal noise.
• Operator pauses, repeats note: “something’s shifting underneath everything.” EVERYTHING!

(Parallel: Internal strain compounding—structures “quietly giving way”. Losing losing
Subject reports nothing explicit; outward behaviour unchanged.)

---

14:44 — Containment Wall Resonance

• Chamber emits low-frequency resonance (78 Hz) associated with impending shear failure.
• Bolt strain gauges climbing sharply.
• Alloy frame exhibiting plastic deformation.

(Parallel: Psychological resonance—persistent internal pressure, rising without trigger, overwhelming coping structures.)

---

17:02 — Systemic Rupture Initiated

• Acoustic emission spike indicates brittle–ductile transition exceeded.
• MP-22 transitions into chaotic multi-phase breakdown.
• Melt fraction rises abruptly; uncontrolled exsolution.
• Operator: “I can’t tell what part failed first.” YOURHEADITSINYOURHEAD

(Parallel: Psychological overload—identity boundaries blur; intrusive thoughts, dissociation, internal heat with no outlet.)

---

17:05 — Catastrophic Chamber Breach

• Containment compromises along three axes.
• Release of high-pressure assemblage.
• Monitoring screens blank.
• Lab alarms sound, then fail. Quiet now

(Parallel: Collapse of internal structure—no continuity of narrative, no coheSÌon, no interpretive fraMework.)

---

17:07 — Aftermath Assessment

• Sample MP-22 unrecognisable.
• All minerals recrystallised or obliterated.
• No prior textures recoverable.
• No pathway to reconstruct original state.
• Operator sits, unresponsive, hands still on console.

(Parallel: Subject unable to articulate sequence—only the outcome: “I don’t recognise myself anymore.”)

---

Incident Summary

• Catastrophe occurred through accumulated invisible pressures rather than any single breach.
• Failure appears inevitable once threshold exceeded.
• No mechanism detected for reversal or repair.
• Records show the moment not when breaking occurred, but when resistance ceased.

Closing Remark (Automatic System Log)

“Identity loss irreversible.
Cause: sustained internal pressure.
Recommendation: none.”
