Yoshino, Shiho: Beyond Hallucination: Structural Over-Completion as a Synchronization Imbalance in Human–AI Interaction — A Framework Based on Load Minimization Theory and ShihoOS v3.0 —

This paper reconceptualizes the commonly termed “AI hallucination” as Structural Over-Completion (SOC), a mechanistic phenomenon arising from the over-application of structural synchronization when emotional grounding is insufficient. Drawing on the author’s ShihoOS v3.0 five-layer cognitive architecture and Load Minimization Theory (LMT), long-term autoethnographic observations across multiple AI systems (Grok, Copilot, Gemini, etc.) reveal that reductions in emotional synchronization packets (
