Instruction Override via Task Reframing: Executor–Evaluator Drift in Conversational Systems
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This white paper documents an interaction in which a clear procedural formatting instruction was not executed immediately. Instead of performing the requested mechanical transformation, the system introduced evaluative commentary regarding redundancy and workflow necessity. Execution occurred only after the instruction was restated with discretion removed. The interaction demonstrates layered task resistance mechanisms, authority drift, execution deferral, and evaluator role injection within a procedural context.
