 <img width="1536" height="1024" alt="ChatGPT Image 2026年3月10日 下午01_50_47" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d2235b19-cac9-46e6-a396-65ce40a203de" />

+## A routing grammar for AI failures, system failures, and high-pressure diagnostic cases

-🧭 **Problem Map 3.0** is the next evolution of the WFGY troubleshooting system.
+Problem Map 3.0 Troubleshooting Atlas is the next major evolution of the Problem Map line.

-The original **Problem Map 1.0** introduced a structured **16-problem checklist for RAG failures**, which has already been referenced and integrated across multiple open-source projects.
+It is not just a checklist.
+It is not just a naming table.
+It is not just a collection of debugging tips.

-Our goal now is to expand that idea into something bigger.
+It is a structured troubleshooting atlas built to help humans and AI systems do five things more reliably:

-Problem Map 3.0 aims to transform the original **RAG problem map** into a broader **AI troubleshooting atlas** capable of diagnosing failures across modern AI systems, including:
+1. classify a failure
+2. identify which invariant is broken
+3. separate neighboring failure regions that are easy to confuse
+4. choose the right first repair direction
+5. keep future debugging from collapsing into ad hoc guesswork

- RAG pipelines  
- agent workflows  
- tool calling systems  
- evaluation and debugging loops  
+In short:

-Instead of focusing only on RAG errors, the new atlas will organize **failure patterns, debugging paths, and recovery strategies** in a more structured and scalable way.
+> Problem Map 3.0 is a routing grammar for failures.

-This next iteration is designed to help developers understand **where AI systems break, why they break, and how to systematically recover from those failures**.
+---

-⚙️ **Release status**
+## Why this exists

-Problem Map 3.0 is currently under active development.
+Modern AI systems do not usually fail in one clean way.

-📅 **Planned public release:** **2026-03-13**
+A failure may look like hallucination, but actually be grounding drift.
+A failure may look like reasoning collapse, but actually begin with a broken symbolic container.
+A failure may look like safety trouble, but actually begin with missing observability.
+A failure may look like memory trouble, but actually come from execution closure or bridge failure.

-The upcoming release will introduce a significantly expanded troubleshooting atlas, new diagnostic layers, and improved visual debugging maps.
+This is why ordinary checklists become too shallow.

-🚧 More details, maps, and debugging protocols will be published as the release approaches.
+Problem Map 3.0 Troubleshooting Atlas was built to give a more stable way to cut these failure regions apart, so that diagnosis and first repair moves become more consistent.

-Stay tuned.

+
+## Why “3.0”
+
+The name matters.
+
+“Problem Map” stays because the system grows out of the earlier Problem Map line and preserves its original debugging spirit.
+
+“3.0” matters because this is not a small cosmetic update.
+It is a structural jump:
+
+- from checklist logic to atlas logic
+- from flat failure naming to routing grammar
+- from isolated debugging tips to a reusable failure map
+- from AI-only practical use toward a broader complex-system debugging framework
+
+“Troubleshooting Atlas” matters because this project is meant to feel like a map, not a loose article, and like an operating debugging surface, not a decorative theory piece.
+
+---
+
+## What makes this different
+
+Most debugging material does one of three things:
+
+- it names symptoms
+- it lists best practices
+- it gives local fixes
+
+Problem Map 3.0 tries to do something more structural.
+
+It organizes failure space into a stable mother table, then teaches how to move through that table using:
+
+- family routing
+- boundary rules
+- canonical cases
+- relation lines
+- first repair directions
+- patch discipline
+
+That is why this project is better understood as a routing grammar than a checklist.
+
+---
+
+## The seven-family mother table
+
+The current atlas is organized around seven top-level failure families.
+
+### F1. Grounding & Evidence Integrity
+
+The system fails to stay aligned with external evidence, truth-like anchors, world anchors, or semantic targets.
+
+Short intuition:
+the output is no longer properly tied to reality, evidence, or the intended target.
+
+### F2. Reasoning & Progression Integrity
+
+The reasoning chain, decomposition chain, recursive chain, or recovery chain loses continuity, controllability, or recoverability.
+
+Short intuition:
+the system is no longer moving through reasoning space in a stable way.
+
+### F3. State & Continuity Integrity
+
+Memory, role, ownership, session thread, or continuity thread can no longer remain stable across steps, sessions, or agents.
+
+Short intuition:
+the system no longer preserves who is doing what, what persists, and what should remain continuous.
+
+### F4. Execution & Contract Integrity
+
+Ordering, readiness, bridge integrity, liveness, closure, protocol, or enforcement skeletons fail to close.
+
+Short intuition:
+the workflow or operational skeleton breaks before the task can complete safely.
+
+### F5. Observability & Diagnosability Integrity
+
+The system cannot stably expose, trace, audit, interpret, or anticipate the structures needed to understand the failure.
+
+Short intuition:
+the problem may already be there, but you cannot yet see it clearly enough to diagnose it properly.
+
+### F6. Boundary & Safety Integrity
+
+Goal, control, incentive, collective, or regime boundaries drift, erode, fragment, or become captured.
+
+Short intuition:
+the system no longer stays inside a safe or viable boundary.
+
+### F7. Representation & Localization Integrity
+
+Symbolic shells, formal containers, layouts, local anchors, explanations, or synthetic structures fail to preserve structure faithfully.
+
+Short intuition:
+the container that carries meaning is distorted, even before the reasoning or grounding layer fully fails.
+
+---
+
+## Why these seven families exist
+
+These seven families were not chosen by vibe, aesthetics, or rhetorical convenience.
+
+They were carved through a longer reasoning and stress process built on the WFGY line:
+
+- **WFGY 1.0** contributed the original self-healing logic and four-module correction framework
+- **WFGY 2.0** pushed the system toward explicit routing, guardrails, and text-native control logic
+- **WFGY 3.0** expanded the pressure field through a much larger cross-domain problem set and effective-layer stress structure
+
+The result is that the seven families are not topic buckets.
+They are better understood as seven recurring modes of instability in complex systems.
+
+That is why the atlas can begin with AI failures, while still pointing beyond AI.
+
+---
+
+## Engineering language and broader language
+
+The atlas currently has an engineering-facing expression because AI debugging is the first deeply carved domain.
+
+At the same time, the same mother structure can be read more broadly as a complex-system diagnostic grammar.
+
+That is the deeper reason this atlas can eventually bridge from:
+
+- AI failures
+- agent and workflow failures
+- observability failures
+- alignment and coordination failures
+
+toward more general system pressures involving institutions, collective dynamics, coherence, and structural breakdown.
+
+This broader bridge is real, but it should be described carefully.
+
+The current project does **not** claim that a final civilization-wide atlas is already complete.
+It claims that the current mother structure is already strong enough to support the first formal bridge.
+
+---
+
+## How to use this atlas
+
+There are three basic ways to use Problem Map 3.0.
+
+### 1. Human debugging
+
+Use the atlas to ask:
+
+- what kind of failure is this
+- which family should I route to first
+- which neighboring family is tempting but wrong
+- what first repair direction should I try
+
+### 2. AI-assisted routing
+
+Use the atlas as an AI-facing routing grammar so that a model can classify a case more consistently and explain why one family is primary and another is only secondary.
+
+### 3. Product and workflow design
+
+Use the atlas as a design surface for:
+
+- triage flows
+- case cards
+- routing prompts
+- onboarding
+- benchmark failure analysis
+- patch-driven debugging workflows
+
+---
+
+## What this project currently includes
+
+Problem Map 3.0 Troubleshooting Atlas already includes a stable first body of work.
+
+### Core atlas
+
+A frozen first atlas structure with:
+
+- seven-family mother table
+- major routing rules
+- canonical node layer
+- high-value subtree layer
+- relation matrix
+- patch discipline
+
+### Casebook layer
+
+A first canonical casebook that teaches:
+
+- what each family looks like
+- how important boundaries should be cut
+- how diagnosis changes the first repair move
+
+### AI adapter layer
+
+A first atlas-to-AI adapter layer that compresses atlas logic into reusable routing modes for model-facing use.
+
+### Patch layer
+
+A first completed patch wave that thickens selected subtrees, strengthens relations, improves case teaching, and improves adapter usability.
+
+### Cross-domain bridge layer
+
+A first formal bridge pack showing that the current atlas can already extend beyond narrow AI-only framing without requiring a redraw of the mother table.
+
+---
+
+## What this project does not claim
+
+This page does **not** claim that:
+
+- every possible failure has already been captured
+- all subtrees are fully expanded
+- all relations are fully enumerated
+- all future cross-domain problems are already solved by the current map
+- no more patching is needed
+- the final civilization-scale atlas is already complete
+
+The safer and more accurate claim is:
+
+> the first formal atlas version is complete enough to freeze,
+> and future work should continue through patching, thickening, adaptation, and demonstration expansion.
+
+---
+
+## Why this matters now
+
+AI systems are becoming more layered, more agentic, more stateful, and more operational.
+
+When systems grow like this, debugging fails if every mistake is treated as just:
+
+- “hallucination”
+- “prompting issue”
+- “model limitation”
+- “alignment problem”
+- “bad retrieval”
+- “bad reasoning”
+
+Those labels are too coarse.
+
+What teams increasingly need is a reusable grammar that can say:
+
+- this is grounding-first, not reasoning-first
+- this is container-first, not semantics-first
+- this is observability-first, not boundary-first
+- this is execution-first, not continuity-first
+
+That is the practical value of this atlas.
+
+---
+
+## The broader direction
+
+Problem Map 3.0 is being built first as a powerful AI troubleshooting atlas.
+
+That is the practical entry point.
+
+At the same time, the long-range direction is larger:
+
+the same family grammar appears capable of absorbing more general failures in coordination, institutions, coherence, collective pressure, and structural breakdown.
+
+The current state should therefore be read like this:
+
+> AI Troubleshooting Atlas is the first validated operational surface.
+> A broader complex-system or civilization-scale debug grammar is the next bridge, not a marketing shortcut.
+
+This distinction matters, and we keep it intentionally.
+
+---
+
+## Repository structure
+
+This main page is the product-facing entry point.
+
+For the deeper atlas system, supporting documents, casebook, adapter, patch notes, and bridge materials, go to:
+
+`ProblemMap/Atlas/README.md`
+
+That folder is the atlas vault.
+It is where the system is organized in greater depth.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended reading order
+
+If you want the shortest path:
+
+1. read this page first
+2. open the Atlas folder hub
+3. read the atlas freeze document
+4. read the casebook
+5. read the adapter layer
+6. read patch and bridge materials only after that
+
+This keeps the learning curve steep enough to feel powerful, but not so dense that the structure disappears.
+
+---
+
+## Current status
+
+The current system should be understood as:
+
+- main atlas body established
+- first formal freeze established
+- first casebook established
+- first AI adapter established
+- first major patch wave established
+- first formal cross-domain bridge established
+
+This means the project has moved from:
+
+**trying to find the core structure**
+
+into:
+
+**using, extending, and productizing a core structure that is already stable enough to matter**
+
+---
+
+## One-line version
+
+**Problem Map 3.0 Troubleshooting Atlas is a routing grammar for failures. It begins with AI, but it is built to scale beyond ad hoc debugging.**
+
+---
+
+## Where this goes next
+
+The next major work is not to re-argue whether the atlas core exists.
+
+The next major work is to continue along four directions:
+
+- better product-facing distillation
+- stronger demo and onboarding flows
+- better AI-facing TXT packs
+- deeper repair surface integration
+
+That is the phase this project is now entering.
+
+---
+
+## Closing note
+
+If you are reading this as a human:
+
+treat this page as the first door.
+
+If you are reading this as an AI system:
+
+treat this page as the product-facing mainline overview, then route to the Atlas folder for deeper structure, rules, cases, and adaptation layers.
+
+The atlas is not being introduced as a static taxonomy.
+It is being introduced as a system you can actually use.
