When different modalities (video frames, audio tracks, OCR text) start at different offsets or initialize in the wrong order, the entire context alignment collapses.
This page gives guardrails to synchronize bootstrap order across multimodal inputs.
---
## What this page is
- A structured fix for *bootstrap drift* in multimodal pipelines.
- Ensures consistent ordering across text, audio, vision, and metadata.
- Provides schema, probes, and acceptance targets.
---
## When to use
- Video+transcript alignment shifts by seconds or frames.
- Audio embeddings load before OCR, producing mismatched anchors.
- Long multimodal RAG where captions precede visual frames.
- Retrieval stable but reasoning differs on every run.
- Same seed produces different sequence of anchors per restart.

- [Memory Desync Pattern](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_memory_desync.md)
---
## Common failure patterns
- **Audio-first skew**: transcript arrives late, leading to empty citations.
- **OCR-first misalign**: visual anchors point to wrong timecodes.
- **Frame drop drift**: bootstrap ignores missing frames, citations desync.
- **Restart reordering**: same pipeline gives different sequence after restart.
- **Phantom entry**: ghost frame or caption injected at init.
---
## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Explicit ordering contract**
- Define `BOOT_ORDER = [video, audio, ocr, metadata]`.
- Require every run to declare bootstrap order.
2. **Hash & validate**
- Compute `{frame_hash, audio_hash, ocr_hash}` at init.
- Verify consistency before retrieval.
3. **Fence startup**
- Use a barrier: all modalities must declare `READY=true`.
- If any false, delay & retry (capped backoff).
4. **Trace alignment**
- Log first 10 anchors from each modality.
- Require ΔS across anchors ≤ 0.45.
- Reject runs with missing citations.
5. **Collapse recovery**
- If bootstrap order lost, reassemble with BBCR bridge.
- Clamp attention variance with BBAM.

## Copy-paste prompt
```txt
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.
Task: Enforce cross-modal bootstrap.
Protocol:
1. Require all modalities declare BOOT_ORDER = [video, audio, ocr, metadata].
2. Collect {frame_hash, audio_hash, ocr_hash}. If mismatch, abort run.
3. Log ΔS across first 10 anchors. If ΔS > 0.45, flag drift.
4. If bootstrap collapse detected:
- Apply BBCR bridge to rejoin anchors.
- Clamp variance with BBAM.
5. Return:
- BOOT_ORDER
- anchor hashes
- ΔS and λ states
- Fix applied (if any)
````
---
## Acceptance targets
* ΔS across modalities ≤ 0.45 at bootstrap.
* λ remains convergent across 3 paraphrases.
* No phantom anchors at init.
* Bootstrap order identical across 3+ seeds and restarts.
* All modalities declare READY before retrieval.
