Constitutional Failure Cascades
Twenty causal simulations showing how small defects in purpose, appeals, updates, retention, procurement, representation and emergency governance can become systemic machine judgment.

Answer first
Why model cascades instead of isolated errors?
Because machine institutions are connected. A minor classification error or governance shortcut can become more dangerous when copied, reinforced, reused and treated as evidence by downstream systems. The cascade model identifies where reversal is still cheap and where path dependence begins.
Examples
Architecture can amplify its own outputs
Purpose drift can create a universal profile; a false decision can create instability that a model reads as confirmation; a reversed case can remain in training data; metadata can overstate a cautious visible claim; emergency retention can become permanent through inertia.
Intervention point
Find the earliest reversible boundary
Each cascade records a starting defect, institutional incentive, early warning, reversibility point and irreversibility threshold. The goal is prevention before multiple institutions depend on the contaminated output.
