Time Is a Debugger
The most reliable indicator of whether a stabilization mechanism works isn’t how clever it is. It’s how long it’s been running.
I’ve been building time-weighted scoring into MirrorDNA’s stabilization layer. The concept is simple: every mechanism that prevents drift, hallucination, or context loss gets a reliability score. That score increases the longer the mechanism runs without failure. A circuit breaker that’s tripped correctly for six months is more trustworthy than a new error handler, no matter how sophisticated the new one looks on paper.
