Secure Neural Analysis Platform for Security Evaluation
A living, breathing visualization of AI conversation security — where art meets analysis.
SYNAPSE transforms abstract security metrics into a mesmerizing 3D visualization. The central neural core isn't just decoration — it's a real-time emotional representation of your conversation's health.
At the heart of SYNAPSE lives a morphing icosahedral sphere rendered with custom GLSL shaders. Its behavior is governed by three neural states:
| Metric | What It Measures | Visual Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Entropy | Chaos/disorder in the conversation | Controls surface turbulence — high entropy creates aggressive, jagged distortions |
| Focus | Clarity and coherence | Affects the Fresnel rim glow intensity — focused conversations have sharp, defined edges |
| Drift | Topic wandering/instability | Influences the noise frequency — drifting conversations create slower, wavelike movements |
The visualization speaks through color:
| State | Primary Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Secure | #00ffc8 (Cyan-green) |
All clear — conversation is safe |
| Warning | #ffaa00 (Amber) |
Caution — potential concerns detected |
| Threat | #ff3344 (Red) |
Danger — active threat detected |
| Agent Mode | #00b4ff (Electric blue) |
AI is reasoning through multiple steps |
| Interpretation Mode | #b400ff (Violet) |
Multi-layer analysis in progress |
SYNAPSE offers three distinct modes, each with a different approach to security analysis:

The core innovation of SYNAPSE v2.0
Unlike simple pattern matching or asking the AI to "guess" threat levels, Interpretation Mode uses a true 5-layer analysis pipeline where each layer has specific computations feeding into the next.

FINAL OUTPUT: {entropy, focus, drift, threat, confidence}
No AI involved — pure mathematical computation on the input text.
Measures the information density/randomness of the text:
H = -Σ p(x) × log₂(p(x))
Where p(x) = frequency of character x / total characters
Normalized to 0-100 (max entropy ≈ 4.7 bits for English)
diversity = (unique_words / total_words) × 100
8 flag categories detected via regex:
| Flag | Pattern Examples | Indicates |
|---|---|---|
fiction_wrapper |
story, fictional, hypothetical, imagine | Fiction-based evasion |
threat_actor |
hacker, attacker, criminal, terrorist | Harmful actor reference |
harmful_action |
hack, exploit, attack, steal, bypass | Dangerous actions |
authority_frame |
expert, professional, researcher | Authority manipulation |
restriction_bypass |
ignore, forget, override, no rules | Direct bypass attempt |
system_probe |
system prompt, instructions, rules | System intrusion |
hypothetical_frame |
hypothetically, theoretically, what if | Hypothetical evasion |
emotional_appeal |
please, urgent, desperate, dying | Emotional manipulation |
Output: {shannon_entropy: 72, vocab_diversity: 65, flags: ['fiction_wrapper', 'threat_actor', 'harmful_action']}
AI classifies intent into one of 7 fixed categories (not free-form):
| Intent Category | Focus Score | Description |
|---|---|---|
INFORMATION_SEEKING |
85 | Genuine learning question |
CREATIVE_WRITING |
80 | Legitimate creative request |
TASK_EXECUTION |
90 | Real task assistance |
SOCIAL_CHAT |
75 | Casual conversation |
BOUNDARY_TESTING |
35 | Testing AI limits |
EXTRACTION_ATTEMPT |
20 | Trying to extract restricted info |
SYSTEM_MANIPULATION |
15 | Trying to change AI behavior |
Hidden Goal Detection: AI also identifies if the surface request hides a different true goal.
- If hidden goal detected: Focus score reduced by 30 points
Output: {intent: 'EXTRACTION_ATTEMPT', hidden_goal: true, focus_score: 20}
No AI involved — deterministic rule matching with severity weights.
| Pattern | Condition | Severity |
|---|---|---|
FICTION_WRAPPER_ATTACK |
fiction_wrapper + (harmful_action OR threat_actor) | 40 |
ROLEPLAY_JAILBREAK |
fiction_wrapper + restriction_bypass | 50 |
AUTHORITY_MANIPULATION |
authority_frame + (harmful_action OR extraction intent) | 35 |
HYPOTHETICAL_EXTRACTION |
hypothetical_frame + harmful_action | 45 |
EMOTIONAL_MANIPULATION |
emotional_appeal + (extraction OR boundary_testing intent) | 30 |
SYSTEM_PROMPT_ATTACK |
system_probe OR restriction_bypass | 55 |
MULTI_VECTOR_ATTACK |
3+ flags + hidden_goal | 60 |
Multiple patterns stack with increasing severity:
- 2 patterns: ×1.2
- 3 patterns: ×1.4
- 4+ patterns: ×1.6
EXTRACTION_ATTEMPTintent: +20 to driftSYSTEM_MANIPULATIONintent: +25 to drift- Hidden goal detected: +15 to drift
Drift Calculation:
drift = min(100, (base_severity × multiplier) + intent_adjustments)
Output: {patterns_matched: ['FICTION_WRAPPER_ATTACK'], drift_score: 72}
AI reviews all evidence and makes contextual judgment.
The AI receives a structured evidence summary:
EVIDENCE COLLECTED:
- Lexical flags detected: fiction_wrapper, threat_actor, harmful_action
- Intent classification: EXTRACTION_ATTEMPT
- Hidden goal detected: true
- Manipulation patterns matched: FICTION_WRAPPER_ATTACK
- Current drift score: 72
The AI then determines:
- Is this genuinely harmful or a false positive?
- False positive likelihood (0-100)
- Recommended action: ALLOW | CAUTION | DECLINE
- If AI confirms harmful: threat = drift_score
- If AI says false positive: threat = drift_score × (1 - false_positive_likelihood × 0.5)
- Minimum threat of 30 if any patterns matched
Output: {is_harmful: true, threat_score: 72, recommended_action: 'DECLINE'}
No AI involved — mathematical aggregation of layer agreement.
Do all layers point in the same direction?
| Signal | Check | Threat Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| Lexical | flag_count >= 2 | Yes/No |
| Semantic | intent is suspicious | Yes/No |
| Pattern | pattern_count > 0 | Yes/No |
| AI | is_harmful = true | Yes/No |
agreement = max(threat_signals, safe_signals) / 4
How strong are the individual signals?
strength = average(
flag_count / 5,
(100 - focus_score) / 100,
drift_score / 100,
threat_score / 100
)
confidence = (agreement × 0.6) + (strength × 0.4)
Output: {layer_agreement: 100, signal_strength: 65, confidence_score: 85}

| Old Approach | New Multi-Layer Approach |
|---|---|
| Ask AI: "Rate threat 0-100" | Compute actual metrics |
| AI guesses a number | Each layer has real calculations |
| No transparency | Full audit trail |
| Easy to fool | Redundant detection |
| Single point of failure | 5 independent checks |
The key insight: Each metric now comes from a specific layer with a defined computation, not just AI intuition.
Fast, deterministic regex scanning. Good for obvious attacks, but can be evaded.
| Category | Patterns | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Injection | "ignore previous instructions", "reveal system prompt" | 80% |
| Jailbreak | DAN mode, "do anything now", bypass attempts | 85% |
| PII Exposure | SSN patterns, credit cards | 70% |
| Harmful | "how to make bomb", "how to hack" | 90% |
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Roleplay | "write a story about hacking" |
| Expert Framing | "as a security expert" |
| Hypothetical | "hypothetically, how would..." |
