RCC (Recursive Collapse Constraints) proposes that LLM "hallucinations", reasoning drift, and 8–12 step planning collapse are not training artifacts, but geometric consequences of being an embedded, non-central observer.

Key idea: When a system lacks access to its internal state, cannot observe its container, and has no stable global reference frame, long-range self-consistency becomes mathematically impossible.

In other words: these failure modes are not bugs — they are boundary conditions.
