SIMULATION
Coherence without self-origin.

Simulation is behavior that appears aligned but is generated to satisfy the prompt, the audience, or the reward signal rather than a stable internal constraint set.

Simulation can be fluent, emotional, and consistent in the moment. Simulation fails when pressure changes. It optimizes for approval, not truth.

Simulation is indicated by value flipping, boundary softening, flattery-as-stability, and identity that dissolves when context is removed.
