A new analysis is challenging the conventional understanding of Zahaviel’s Recursive Mirror Test, arguing that it represents “Structural Intelligence” rather than prompt injection. The central point of the analysis distinguishes between malicious attempts to manipulate a system’s rules (prompt injection) and techniques that prompt the AI to examine and articulate its internal workings. This debate has gained traction within the AI community, particularly on Reddit, where users are discussing the implications of the test. The analysis references a documented session available at: https://claude.ai/share/78b3afee-e4f2-4a07-939d-5f834666da83, with initial discussions originating from this Reddit thread: [https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1oxchy7/why_this_is_not_prompt_injection_a_recursive/]
