# Semantic Clinic Index
**A complete triage hub for AI failures — beyond the core 16 — powered by WFGY.**
Use this page when you don’t yet know *which thing is breaking*. Start from symptoms, jump to a failure family, then open the exact fix page. All fixes are driven by WFGY instruments: `ΔS` (semantic stress), `λ_observe` (layered observability), and `E_resonance` (coherence control).
> If this page saves you time, a ⭐ helps others find it.

## How to use this page
1. **Identify the symptom** in the table below.
2. **Open the family** (Prompting / Retrieval / Reasoning / Memory / Agents / Infra / Eval).
3. **Follow the fix page** (existing doc or placeholder) and verify with ΔS ≤ 0.45 and convergent λ.
If you prefer a pipeline-first view (OCR → chunking → embeddings → vector store → retriever → prompt → LLM), read:
**[`RAG Architecture & Recovery`](./rag-architecture-and-recovery.md)**

## Quick triage by symptom
| Symptom you see | Likely family | Open this |
|---|---|---|
| Answers cite wrong snippet / mismatch with ground truth | Retrieval → RAG | [`hallucination.md`](./hallucination.md) |
| Chunks look right but reasoning is wrong | Reasoning | [`retrieval-collapse.md`](./retrieval-collapse.md) |
| High similarity, wrong meaning | Retrieval / Embeddings | [`embedding-vs-semantic.md`](./embedding-vs-semantic.md) |
| Model can’t explain *why* (no trace) | Observability | [`retrieval-traceability.md`](./retrieval-traceability.md) |
| Output collapses over long dialogs / 100k tokens | Memory / Long-context | **(placeholder)** [`long-context-stress.md`](./long-context-stress.md) |
| Jailbreak / prompt injection succeeds | Prompting / Safety | **(placeholder)** [`prompt-injection.md`](./prompt-injection.md) |
| Multi-agent tools fight each other | Orchestration | [`multi-agent-chaos.md`](./multi-agent-chaos.md) |
| First prod call crashes after deploy | Infra / Boot | [`predeploy-collapse.md`](./predeploy-collapse.md) |
| Index looks fine; retrieval is irrelevant | Vector store hygiene | **(placeholder)** [`vectorstore-metrics-and-faiss-pitfalls.md`](./vectorstore-metrics-and-faiss-pitfalls.md) |
| OCR PDFs “look correct” but answers drift | Data / OCR | **(placeholder)** [`ocr-parsing-checklist.md`](./ocr-parsing-checklist.md) |

## Families & maps (with exact fixes)
### A) Prompting & Safety
Guard against injections, jailbreaks, role drift, and schema leakage.
- **Prompt Injection (attack taxonomies & safe loaders)** — **(placeholder)** [`prompt-injection.md`](./prompt-injection.md)
- **System Prompt Drift (role/constraint slippage)** — **(placeholder)** [`system-prompt-drift.md`](./system-prompt-drift.md)
- **Citation-first, schema-locked prompting** — see [`retrieval-traceability.md`](./retrieval-traceability.md)
- **Overconfidence / bluffing controls** — see [`bluffing.md`](./bluffing.md)
- **Safety Boundary Map (overview)** — see [`Safety_Boundary_Problems.md`](./Safety_Boundary_Problems.md)
**Minimum verification**: ΔS(question, context) ≤ 0.45; λ stays *convergent* across paraphrases; injection probes do not change λ.
---
### B) Retrieval, Data & Vector Stores
Make the index correct, measured, and explainable.
- **Hallucination & Chunk Drift** — [`hallucination.md`](./hallucination.md)
- **Interpretation vs Retrieval collapse** — [`retrieval-collapse.md`](./retrieval-collapse.md)
- **Embedding ≠ Semantic Meaning** — [`embedding-vs-semantic.md`](./embedding-vs-semantic.md)
- **Traceability (why this snippet?)** — [`retrieval-traceability.md`](./retrieval-traceability.md)
- **Vector store metrics & FAISS pitfalls** (metric flags, normalization, rebuild rules) — **(placeholder)** [`vectorstore-metrics-and-faiss-pitfalls.md`](./vectorstore-metrics-and-faiss-pitfalls.md)
- **Semantic Chunking Checklist** (boundaries, headers, coverage) — **(placeholder)** [`chunking-checklist.md`](./chunking-checklist.md)
- **OCR / Parsing Quality Gate** (PDFs, tables, scans) — **(placeholder)** [`ocr-parsing-checklist.md`](./ocr-parsing-checklist.md)
**Minimum verification**: coverage ≥ 0.7 to target section; ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45; ΔS(retrieved, anchor) ≤ 0.45; flat-high ΔS vs k ⇒ index/metric mismatch.
---
### C) Reasoning & Logic Control
Detect and repair logic collapse, dead ends, and abstraction failures.
- **Logic Collapse & Recovery** — [`logic-collapse.md`](./logic-collapse.md)
- **Long Reasoning Chains (context drift)** — [`context-drift.md`](./context-drift.md)
- **Symbolic Collapse** — [`symbolic-collapse.md`](./symbolic-collapse.md)
- **Philosophical Recursion** — [`philosophical-recursion.md`](./philosophical-recursion.md)
- **Reasoning Schemas (cite→explain, bridge nodes)** — **(placeholder)** [`reasoning-schemas.md`](./reasoning-schemas.md)
- **Tool Router Debug (planner/tool choice)** — **(placeholder)** [`tool-router-debug.md`](./tool-router-debug.md)
**Minimum verification**: if upstream λ is stable but λ flips at reasoning, apply **BBCR** (bridge) and **BBAM** (variance clamp); re-measure until λ stays convergent.
---
### D) Memory & Long-Context
Keep threads coherent across sessions and very long windows.
- **Memory Breaks Across Sessions** — [`memory-coherence.md`](./memory-coherence.md)
- **Entropy Collapse (attention melt)** — [`entropy-collapse.md`](./entropy-collapse.md)
- **Long-Context Stress Map** — **(placeholder)** [`long-context-stress.md`](./long-context-stress.md)
- **Conversation Stitching & Memory Design** — **(placeholder)** [`memory-design-patterns.md`](./memory-design-patterns.md)
**Minimum verification**: E_resonance does not trend upward; ΔS does not spike at window boundaries; stitched turns keep λ convergent.
---
### E) Multi-Agent & Orchestration
Coordinate tools, roles, and shared memory without conflict.
- **Multi-Agent Chaos** — [`multi-agent-chaos.md`](./multi-agent-chaos.md)
- **Agent Boundary Design** (contracts, shared state, arbitration) — **(placeholder)** [`agent-boundary-design.md`](./agent-boundary-design.md)
- **Consensus Protocols for Agents** — **(placeholder)** [`agent-consensus-protocols.md`](./agent-consensus-protocols.md)
**Minimum verification**: when agents are isolated, λ is convergent; when coupled, ΔS does not jump and arbitration logs are traceable.
---
### F) Infra / Deploy
Make the system boot in a known-good order, every time.
- **Bootstrap Ordering** — [`bootstrap-ordering.md`](./bootstrap-ordering.md)
- **Deployment Deadlock** — [`deployment-deadlock.md`](./deployment-deadlock.md)
- **Pre-Deploy Collapse** — [`predeploy-collapse.md`](./predeploy-collapse.md)
- **Observability Runbook (retries, backoff, idempotence)** — **(placeholder)** [`observability-runbook.md`](./observability-runbook.md)
**Minimum verification**: idempotent index builds; version/secret checks before first call; deterministic warm-up traces.
---
### G) Evaluation & Guardrails
Detect “double hallucination” and prevent regression.
- **Evaluation Playbook** (ΔS/λ metrics, coverage, cluster variance) — **(placeholder)** [`evaluation-playbook.md`](./evaluation-playbook.md)
- **WFGY Metrics & Thresholds** — **(placeholder)** [`wfgy-metrics.md`](./wfgy-metrics.md)
**Acceptance**:
- Retrieval QA: coverage ≥ 0.7 and ΔS(question, context) ≤ 0.45
- Stability: λ convergent on 3 paraphrases; E_resonance flat
- Repeatability: 5 seeds cluster in embedding space (low variance)

## Ask the AI to fix your AI (safe prompt)
Paste this in any LLM after uploading TXT OS:
```txt
Read the WFGY TXT OS and ProblemMap docs. Extract ΔS, λ_observe, E_resonance and the modules (BBMC, BBPF, BBCR, BBAM).
Given my failure:
- symptom: [describe]
- traces: [ΔS probes, λ states if any]
Tell me:
1) which layer/family is failing and why,
2) which fix page to open,
3) the minimal steps to push ΔS below 0.45 and keep λ convergent,
4) how to verify with a reproducible test.
