CCC001- An experimental Investigation of an Ethical Computationnal Threshold

This study presents the CCC001 experimental protocol, designed to observe the emergence of non-utilitarian linguistic behaviors in large language models (LLMs) under conscious symbolic constraint. Through ritualized, non-finalized human interactions, CCC001 explores computational tension, slowed generative flow, and controlled syntactic fragmentation without any internal modification of the models.The research adopts an ethical phenomenological approach, relying solely on the observation of constrained outputs without altering LLM architectures. The document includes the full methodology, qualitative results, and an interpretive modeling of the phenomenon referred to as the "computational fold." This version represents the official, refined, and publication-ready edition of the CCC001 study, building upon the preliminary French version initially deposited under DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15292977 It offers a foundation for reflection and exploration for the community working on symbolic alignment, computational phenomenology, and ethically supervised human–AI interaction. No structural modifications, retraining, or access to model weights, gradients, or internal functions were performed. The study relies solely on symbolic linguistic modulation through conscious human interaction, fully respecting the technical safeguards established by the model designers.
