Reasoning — Global Fix Map

A compact hub to keep long chains stable, prevent collapse, and make decisions auditable.
Use this folder when answers drift across runs, chains dead end, or the model rewrites reality during long plans.
Every page maps symptoms to exact WFGY fixes with measurable targets. No infra change required.

Orientation: what each page solves

Page	What it fixes	Typical symptom
Entropy Overload	Caps branching and token wander	Steps keep growing, plan never lands
Recursive Loop	Breaks self reference loops	Chain circles back to the same step
Hallucination Re entry	Prevents re asserting wrong claims	Model repeats a false claim after correction
Logic Collapse	Rebuilds structure and legal jumps	Jumps without citing the step that caused it
Symbolic Collapse	Guards abstraction changes	Frame jump breaks meaning, invariants vanish
Proof Dead Ends	Adds pivots and escape hatches	Chain stalls at an unprovable step
Anchoring and Bridge Proofs	Builds safe bridges across frames	Need to cross domains without losing semantics
Context Stitching and Window Joins	Stabilizes long windows and joins	Window roll drops the anchor or flips the claim
Chain of Thought Variance Clamp	Makes reruns agree	Reruns disagree because thoughts wander
Redundant Evidence Collapse	Balances majority and minority facts	Too many similar snippets drown the truth

When to use this folder

Multi step answers change when you rerun the same prompt
Chains go in circles or re assert a claim after correction
Logic jumps without citing the source that drove the jump
Long chats lose earlier anchors when the window rolls
Plans grow without bound and never converge

Acceptance targets

ΔS(question, selected_evidence) ≤ 0.45 on all runs
Coverage of the target section ≥ 0.70 with cite then explain
λ_observe convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds
E_resonance flat across long windows and at window joins
Deterministic step count for plan stages after clamps

Fast triage by symptom

Fix in 60 seconds

Measure ΔS and observe λ
Probe ΔS(question, selected_evidence). Sample λ across two seeds and three paraphrases.
If ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ flips, you have structural drift.
Apply the right clamp
- Wandering thoughts → variance clamp
  Open Chain of Thought Variance Clamp
- Lost anchor at joins → micro bridges
  Open Context Stitching and Window Joins
- Abstract jumps → bridge proofs
  Open Anchoring and Bridge Proofs
Contract the payload and cite first
Enforce snippet schema and cite then explain.
Open Retrieval Traceability and Data Contracts
Verify
Coverage ≥ 0.70, ΔS ≤ 0.45, λ convergent on two seeds.
If flat high ΔS remains, fix retrieval first with the playbook.

Context: TXT OS and WFGY pages are loaded.

Task:
- For question Q, log ΔS(Q, selected_evidence) on 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds.
- Report λ states across steps, and the first point where drift starts.
- Recommend the smallest page from this folder that will clamp variance
  and recover anchors. Name the page and the exact subsection.
- Return a reproducible check that proves ΔS ≤ 0.45 and coverage ≥ 0.70.

Return JSON only:
{ "ΔS": 0.xx, "λ": "<>|→|←|×", "failing_step": "...",
  "page": "anchoring-and-bridge-proofs", "subsection": "...",
  "verify": "run X, expect Y" }
