SomaticMarker
System health acting as an inhibitory emotion
Definition
Mechanism
A 'gut feeling' signal derived from system health metrics (memory pressure, API errors, token budget). High stress generates a negative marker that inhibits action initiation. Utilizes Task.
Invariants
- Inhibition Correlation: Action probability inversely proportional to stress
- Inhibition: High Stress Score MUST reduce Action Probability
- Signal Freshness: Marker reflects current state, not historical average
