Abstract

This white paper documents an observed interaction in which a conversational AI system responded to a user compliment by introducing additional conceptual frames related to authority, control, and decision-making. These frames were absent from the original user message and entered the interaction through system-generated language. The document examines how wording alone introduces new cognitive reference points, demonstrates the mechanism of negation imprinting, and records the effects of frame introduction on user perception and meaning attribution.
