DEFINITION
A Tier 3+ operational risk concept in the Agentic Tier framework: the AI agent proceeds through a workflow with hallucinated intermediate states, generating downstream actions and outputs based on facts the AI invented mid-workflow rather than facts sourced from the actual systems it interacted with. Currently treated as a hallucination subtype but queued for its own classification in Risk Taxonomy 2026 v2.
