Project: Blue Providence — Persona-State Contamination (Bot-Breakdown) White Paper

Project Blue Providence introduces a cross-cutting provenance and foresight layer designed to operate in conjunction with Operation Blue Zebra, Project Parallax, Project Painted Horse, Persona-State Contamination, and related open-methods work. The paper documents an adversarial conversational testbed, distinguishes source lineage from truth claims, examines contamination and provenance failure patterns, reports an observed reset/provenance mitigation result without claiming a structural cure, and proposes falsification controls for future testing.
