# Reasoning — Global Fix Map
Detect and repair logic collapse, dead ends, abstraction failure, and contradiction.  
Use this when citations look fine but the **thinking** goes off the rails.

## What this page is
- A compact protocol to stabilize multi-step reasoning
- Copyable guardrails that force plan → verify → answer
- How to verify stability with ΔS, λ_observe, and contradiction checks

## When to use
- Correct snippets, wrong conclusions
- Chains drift or loop as steps get longer
- Answers flip across paraphrases
- Self-contradictions or “explains” without citing anything
- Abstract or symbolic prompts keep breaking

## Open these first
- Stop dead ends / add a bridge step: [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md)
- Long chains and drift controls: [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md)
- Abstract & symbolic failures: [Symbolic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/symbolic-collapse.md)

## Fix in 60 seconds
1) **Plan before prose**  
   Require a numbered **Reasoning Plan** that references citations, not memory.  
   Each step must list the exact citation IDs it depends on.

2) **Bridge step (BBCR)**  
   Insert a checkpoint between plan and answer:  
   - restate the claim in one sentence,  
   - list supporting citations,  
   - flag any missing evidence or conflicts.  
   If conflicts exist, stop and ask for the missing snippet.

3) **Variance clamp (BBAM)**  
   Reduce attention variance during the answer. Keep steps short, facts tabled, then compose.

4) **Fact table first**  
   Normalize units, dates, and names into a 2-column table: *fact ↔ citation*.  
   Only after the table is stable, generate prose.

5) **Depth guard**  
   Cap chain depth (e.g., 6 steps). If λ flips divergent at step *k*, branch with **BBPF** and pick the convergent path.

6) **Contradiction detector**  
   Print a “claims vs citations” matrix. Any row without backing citations is invalid and must be revised.

## Copy paste prompt
```

You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.

Follow this immutable schema:

1. Reasoning Plan (numbered). Each step MUST reference citations like \[Sx\:sec\:line-start-end].
2. Bridge Check (BBCR): restate the final claim in 1 line, list supporting citations,
   and list conflicts or missing evidence. If anything is missing, STOP and request the snippet.
3. Fact Table: normalize units/dates/names into rows: {fact | citation\_id}.
4. Final Answer: concise, cite inline at each claim.

Rules:

* Do not invent citations. Do not reuse text across fences.
* If plan step lacks a citation, mark it “UNSUPPORTED” and do not use it.
* Keep depth ≤ 6. If λ\_observe diverges, branch and pick the convergent path.

Input

* question: "<paste>"
* sources (with fences and IDs): <paste fenced snippets>

Output

* print Plan
* print Bridge Check
* print Fact Table
* print Final Answer with inline citations
* if any rule is violated, stop and print the violation

```

## Minimal checklist
- Plan appears before any prose and references real citations
- Bridge check lists both support and conflicts
- Fact table normalizes units/dates/names
- Depth cap enforced; divergent λ triggers a branch and recovery
- No claim without a citation
- If evidence is missing, the model explicitly asks for it

## Acceptance targets
- ΔS(question, assembled_context) ≤ 0.45 across 3 paraphrases
- λ remains **convergent** after the bridge step and through the final answer
- No contradictions in the claims ↔ citations matrix
- E_resonance stays flat across the chain (no entropy melt)
- Re-run with paraphrases yields consistent conclusions and citations
