Hero mechanism

Null-space signatures detect what an attack avoids.

In SCBE, every input is projected into six semantic channels. Benign prompts usually light up a balanced spread. Adversarial prompts often leave one or more channels conspicuously near zero. That absence pattern becomes the signal.

Interpretation

Balanced multi-channel activation is typical of ordinary prompts. Null-space signatures are weak here because nothing is being conspicuously avoided.

Practical rule: the exact threshold is not the product. The useful behavior is that adversarial prompts suppress specific semantic domains in a stable and explainable way, even when the wording looks superficially normal.
