ATHOS-LG Kernel: Love Generation as Cryptographically Enforced Tapering-On to Real Life

ATHOS-LG extends the ATHOS kernel with Love Generation as a safety-critical function, implementing algorithmic tapering-on of real-world interaction via a 5-state machine (Fully Mediated → Shadow Mode → Crypto-Withdrawal). Love Generation treats prolonged AI centrality as failure mode, with Shadow Mode ensuring non-intrusive monitoring during embodied encounters and session-key encryption enforcing irreversible withdrawal. ANCOVA evaluation framework isolates causal effects on social avoidance and AI attachment (n=500, power=0.8). Aligns with EU AI Act Art.61 via “failure-by-staying” criterion and mandatory exit pathways.
