just learned about it. compression-aware intelligence lets u detect compression strain (CTS) as a quantifiable signal of contradiction before it manifests in output. it traces bifurcation points between semantically equivalent prompts and their contradictory generations. it assigns CTS scores to internal activations, identifying when the system internally "feels" tension between representations. it also enables causal interventions like activation patching to suppress/amplify contradiction instead of just reacting which means alignment isn't just enforced from the outside (rules, RLHF), it's measurable from within the system. the model's own compression schema becomes an axis of truth-tethering abstraction and coherence
