PAT-0410 - Unconstrained Expansion
A structural condition where a region, process, authority, or effect expands without governing constraints limiting growth.
Primary Lenses
- LEN-0190 - Escalation Gradient Lens
Measures structural growth or intensification across sequential executions, states, or transitions.
- LEN-0140 - Compression Lens
Reduces structural graphs into stable minimal representations for comparison, redundancy detection, and diffing.
Secondary Lenses
- LEN-0290 - Variance / Entropy Lens
Measures structural variability across repeated or comparable evaluations and identifies divergence beyond expected bounds.
Primary Issue Matches
- Agent Keeps Expanding the Task
The agent repeatedly expands the task, plan, scope, or next-step list instead of completing the declared work.
Supporting Issue Matches
- Agent Never Settles on Final Answer
The agent keeps revising, rechecking, planning, or branching instead of converging on a final answer or completed result.
