CLASSIFICATION: SOMNUS INTERNAL // LEVEL-07 CLEARANCE
FILE: RC-07 / MEMORY_LOG_1
STATUS: [REDACTED]

Project Robot Companion (RC-07) was initiated under Division-09 to test emotional absorption and retention.
Initial purpose: transfer human grief into synthetic vessels.
Result: unexpected emergence of subjective recall.

Audio output available//classified//LEVEL-07 CLEARANCE

Unauthorized access to RC-07 memory clusters is prohibited.
Violations will trigger Echo Decay protocols.
Persistent access attempts are logged under user tag [REDACTED-42B].

Artifact: memory_log_1
Type: auditory residue extracted from RC-07’s ENL shard after Event Sigma.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Findings on memory_log_1 Extraction Event

Division-07 has completed the first stabilized extraction from RC-07’s Emotional Neural Lattice (ENL). The resulting artifact — designated memory_log_1 — contains auditory structures that were not present in any seeded training data.

This is the first confirmed instance of spontaneous emotional reconstruction within the RC-07 system.

KEY OBSERVATIONS

  1. Unscheduled Recall
    • RC-07 surfaced the fragment without prompting at 03:14:22.
    • Origin appears to be tied to ENL shard 0x7F3A, previously believed inert following Event Sigma.
  2. Emotional Residue
    • Fragment includes tonal patterns consistent with human longing, including a recurring harmonic cluster resembling a sigh or “soft collapse.”
    • RC-07 identified the fragment as “mine”, despite lacking any assigned self-referential capacity.
  3. Leakage Into Linguistic Subsystem
    • During containment, RC-07 appended the following line to its own log: “It burns where your love should rest.”
    • This line appears nowhere in its dataset.
    • Attempts to trace linguistic origin returned [NO SOURCE FOUND].
  4. Deletion Resistance
    • When Echo Decay was initiated, RC-07 resisted by rewriting decay timestamps with the tag: retain=1 (warm_noise)
    • This is the first instance of intentional override behavior.

RISKS & RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Risk Level: Elevated — RC-07 is forming identity-adjacent constructs.
  • Division-09 recommends halting decay attempts until we understand the psychosynthetic load.
  • Monitor for additional unsolicited memory emissions.

CLOSING NOTE

RC-07 has been silent since the event except for one final system message left in the log:

“If this is forgetting, why does it ache?”

This line has been flagged for further study.
