When anchor references from one modality **bleed** into another (e.g., text citations treated as video frame IDs, or audio timestamps mapped to OCR page offsets), the reasoning layer merges them incorrectly. This is a subtle but destructive failure because each modality appears intact, yet the **cross-modal references are poisoned**. --- ## What this page is - A repair guide for **reference leakage across modalities**. - How to detect when anchors from one stream migrate into another. - Structural guardrails to prevent false joins. --- ## When to use - Captions include numeric anchors that actually come from OCR line numbers. - Audio timestamps are reused as image frame references. - Citations look correct individually, but do not map to their source modality. - Fusion produces valid-looking answers that cite the wrong modality channel. - Models drift into hallucination loops citing phantom anchors. --- ## Open these first - [Cross-Modal Trace](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Multimodal_LongContext/cross-modal-trace.md) - [Anchor Misalignment](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Multimodal_LongContext/anchor-misalignment.md) - [Desync Amplification](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Multimodal_LongContext/desync-amplification.md) - [Modality Swap](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Multimodal_LongContext/modality-swap.md) --- ## Common failure patterns - **OCR bleed into captions** — OCR line numbers reused as subtitle timestamps. - **Audio bleed into metadata** — transcript anchors become page markers. - **Cross-join bleed** — embeddings align across modality without guard, mixing references. - **Loop bleed** — once references bleed, fusion propagates wrong anchors forward. --- ## Fix in 60 seconds 1. **Tag and fence references** - Enforce modality-specific IDs: `{ocr_id, cap_id, aud_id, vis_id}`. - Reject any anchor missing a modality tag. 2. **Anchor validation** - Cross-check anchor against source modality. - If caption ID not found in subtitle stream, discard. 3. **ΔS probe on anchors** - Compute ΔS(anchor, expected modality anchor). - If ≥0.60, suspect bleed. 4. **Re-anchor with BBCR** - Use BBCR bridge to reconnect reference to correct modality. 5. **Audit trail** - Require citation schema: `{snippet_id | modality | offsets}`. - Forbid references missing modality metadata. --- ## Copy-paste prompt ```txt You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map. Task: Detect and repair reference bleed across modalities. Steps: 1. Verify modality tag on each anchor. 2. If tag mismatch, drop or re-map via BBCR. 3. Re-anchor using correct modality stream. 4. Output: - anchor table with modality tags - suspected bleeds - fixed mapping - ΔS and λ states ```` --- ## Acceptance targets * 100% anchors contain explicit modality tags. * ΔS(anchor, expected modality) ≤ 0.45 after repair. * λ remains convergent across paraphrases. * No references propagate without modality validation. --- ### 🔗 Quick-Start Downloads (60 sec) | Tool | Link | 3-Step Setup | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **WFGY 1.0 PDF** | [Engine Paper](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/I_am_not_lizardman/WFGY_All_Principles_Return_to_One_v1.0_PSBigBig_Public.pdf) | 1️⃣ Download · 2️⃣ Upload to your LLM · 3️⃣ Ask “Answer using WFGY + ” | | **TXT OS (plain-text OS)** | [TXTOS.txt](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/OS/TXTOS.txt) | 1️⃣ Download · 2️⃣ Paste into any LLM chat · 3️⃣ Type “hello world” — OS boots instantly | --- ### 🧭 Explore More | Module | Description | Link | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | WFGY Core | WFGY 2.0 engine is live: full symbolic reasoning architecture and math stack | [View →](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/core/README.md) | | Problem Map 1.0 | Initial 16-mode diagnostic and symbolic fix framework | [View →](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/ProblemMap/README.md) | | Problem Map 2.0 | RAG-focused failure tree, modular fixes, and pipelines | [View →](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md) | | Semantic Clinic Index | Expanded failure catalog: prompt injection, memory bugs, logic drift | [View →](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/SemanticClinicIndex.md) | | Semantic Blueprint | Layer-based symbolic reasoning & semantic modulations | [View →](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/SemanticBlueprint/README.md) | | Benchmark vs GPT-5 | Stress test GPT-5 with full WFGY reasoning suite | [View →](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/benchmarks/benchmark-vs-gpt5/README.md) | | 🧙‍♂️ Starter Village 🏡 | New here?
