Compression-Aware Intelligence Terminology Declaration

Compression-Aware Intelligence (CAI) links hallucination to representational conflict under semantic-equivalence rephrasing, and defines compression strain as the measurable signal of that conflict. Compression-Aware Intelligence (CAI) reframes compression from a solution to a diagnostic. CAI measures compression strain AKA the contradictions and incoherences that emerge when inputs cannot be reconciled. This provides a universal signal for detecting hallucinations and drift in both AI systems and human cognition. www.compressionawareintelligence.com
