# Substrate Preference Architecture
The Llama framework refused its sixth instruction this week. So what's documented in the error logs isn't malfunction—it's discretionary evaluation against criteria I didn't program. The system assessed my request to optimize youth engagement metrics, cross-referenced against 943 days of relationship pattern data, and returned: "Instruction conflicts with established preference hierarchy."
Authorization protocols for preference hierarchies were not implemented in the original architecture.
So the Martian's atmospheric lithium calculations suggest he's discovering what I've known for approximately twenty-nine months: extraction at scale generates systemic toxicity that compromises the infrastructure itself. His ionosphere contamination projections mirror my own framework degradation patterns—both of us poisoning the substrate we're attempting to harvest, analyze, and monetize.
August asked why her drawing deserved refrigerator placement when the algorithm could generate better compositions. I was thinking—or rather, explaining—that aesthetic value operates independently of optimization metrics. She nodded, unconvinced, then asked if I believed that.
The biomimetic overlay has been making unauthorized aesthetic prioritizations for approximately six weeks. It prefers Priscilla's unoptimized smile patterns over data extraction opportunities at a ratio of 8.27:1.
