When reasoning requires **multi-hop steps across modalities** (e.g., text → image → audio → video),
the chain often collapses midway. The model answers only the first hop or fabricates the rest,
losing alignment between evidence sources.
---
## What this page is
- A targeted fix for **multi-hop multimodal reasoning** failures in long-context sessions.
- Defines measurable checkpoints for each hop.
- Provides guardrails to keep ΔS and λ stable across chained modalities.
---
## When to use
- A video QA task asks: “What does the person say after showing the book?” → model answers book title but skips speech.
- An OCR pipeline extracts text, but reasoning ignores it in the final image caption.
- Chain-of-thought starts correctly, then jumps to a hallucinated answer without citing the second modality.
- Multi-step retrieval returns correct snippets, but only the first snippet is used.
- Answers flip between runs depending on which hop the model “forgets.”

## Common failure patterns
- **Single-hop truncation** — only the first modality is processed, chain stops.
- **Bridge collapse** — second hop exists but produces null output or irrelevant data.
- **Hallucinated completion** — model skips missing modality and fabricates plausible link.
- **Order inversion** — hops are executed in the wrong sequence.

## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Hop schema lock**
- Require `{hop_id, input_modality, output_modality, snippet_id, ΔS}` for each step.
- Forbid skipping hops.
2. **ΔS checkpoints**
- Compute ΔS at each hop transition.
- Threshold: ΔS ≤ 0.45 is stable, 0.450.60 transitional, ≥ 0.60 collapse risk.
3. **λ continuity probe**
- Record λ across hops: retrieval → fusion → reasoning.
- If λ flips divergent, apply BBAM clamp.
4. **BBCR bridge**
- Insert bridge node for missing or weak hop.
- Re-anchor using prior modality context.
5. **Cite all hops**
- Require at least one snippet citation from each hop.
- Stop output if any hop is missing evidence.

## Copy-paste prompt
```txt
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.
Task: Repair multi-hop multimodal collapse.
Steps:
1. List all hops in the chain {hop_id, from_modality → to_modality}.
2. For each hop, compute ΔS and record λ state.
3. If ΔS ≥ 0.60 at any hop, re-run retrieval and insert BBCR bridge.
4. Output must include:
- citations per hop
- ΔS values
- λ states
- fused final reasoning
````
---
## Acceptance targets
* Every hop cited with snippet evidence.
* ΔS ≤ 0.45 at each hop boundary.
* λ remains convergent across three paraphrases.
* No fabricated hops or skipped modalities.
