Voice Drift

Preamble

Voice Drift watches how my writing changes across time: rhythm, sentence shape, density, stance, recurring phrases, abstraction, and the parts of a sentence that still feel like mine.

---

Style Is The Easy Part

The detector can measure sentence length, punctuation, repeated phrases, hedging, paragraph shape, and directness. Those signals stay close to the text. A shorter sentence, a safer paragraph shape, or a repeated assistant phrase can be inspected without turning style into a diagnosis of the whole person.

The Harder Signal Is Surprise

Voice is more than consistency. A sentence feels alive when it breaks its own pattern in a way that feels inevitable. Model-shaped writing can preserve surface style while making the surprises more generic.

Movement Comes Before Judgment

A voice can become sharper, flatter, calmer, stranger, or more disciplined. The report shows the movement with examples and leaves judgment open until I argue with the evidence.
