Auditing Structural Drift in Discursive Systems Under Recurrence - A Reproducible Objectivity Audit for Negotiation, Diplomacy, Science, and Governance

This work specifies a fully reproducible audit protocol for detecting structural drift in discursive systems under recurrence. The protocol instantiates the structural sensitivity operator relation in the discursive domain by operationalizing recurrence as a countable repetition unit (meeting, negotiation round, hearing, review cycle) and structure as an explicit admissibility grammar (evidence admissibility and precedence, refutation criteria, thresholds, authority, scope, closure, and term locks). The audit yields exactly three outcomes per recurrence window: fixed admissibility structure under recurrence, admissibility structure drift under recurrence, or structural indeterminacy when structure cannot be specified reproducibly. The paper includes standard artifacts (admissibility structure card and drift ledger), a two-auditor reproducibility protocol, local falsifiability conditions, and minimal structural intervention operators designed to stabilize the next recurrence window. The method is designed as a cross-domain standard for negotiation, diplomacy, science, law, and governance, without making truth-ascriptive claims. --- Intellectual Property & ContactKOGNETIK® is a registered trademark of Serkan Elbasan (Germany).The KOGNETIK Research Series is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
