  "gloss": "Conversation with an agent feels wrong when the illusion of a person breaks",
  "mechanism": "As a chat agent approaches natural conversation, small inconsistencies (length that does not match how a teammate would answer, no memory of the user, generic advice) break the illusion and feel unsettling. Cookie-cutter filters and system prompts cannot fix it because the deficit is missing knowledge of who is being talked to.",
  "invariants": [
    "Naturalness depends on knowing the conversation partner",
    "The break appears as a mismatch between expected and actual behavior"
  ],
  "failureModes": [
    "Over-engineered persona that increases the mismatch",
    "Long generic answers to short questions"
