When reasoning spans 20–40 hops or more, attention shifts accumulate and context drifts.
|
||
This page explains how to diagnose λ divergence, stabilize reasoning chains, and repair collapsed context.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## When to use this page
|
||
- Long reasoning plans (~20+ steps) start with logic but later flip or contradict.
|
||
- Multi-agent workflows repeat or miss earlier facts.
|
||
- Citations remain valid, but final answers drift from original question.
|
||
- λ flips divergent after harmless paraphrases.
|
||
- Answers alternate between runs with identical inputs.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Core acceptance targets
|
||
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
|
||
- Retrieval coverage ≥ 0.70 for target section
|
||
- λ remains convergent across three paraphrases
|
||
- Chain length stable up to 40 hops without collapse
|
||
- Entropy variance remains bounded in mid-to-late steps
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Structural fixes
|
||
|
||
- **Three-paraphrase probe**
|
||
Re-ask the same question three ways. Log ΔS and λ at each hop.
|
||
If λ flips, schema is unstable.
|
||
|
||
- **Clamp with BBAM**
|
||
Apply variance clamp when λ flips across harmless paraphrases.
|
||
|
||
- **Bridge with BBCR**
|
||
Insert bridge nodes when long chains stall. Anchor back to earlier stable nodes.
|
||
|
||
- **Enforce snippet fences**
|
||
Require each reasoning step cite snippet_id. Forbid cross-section reuse.
|
||
|
||
- **Re-anchor with anchors**
|
||
Compare ΔS(question, anchor) vs ΔS(question, decoy).
|
||
If ΔS is close, re-chunk corpus.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Fix in 60 seconds
|
||
1. **Log ΔS and λ** across 3 paraphrases.
|
||
2. **Clamp** with BBAM if λ flips.
|
||
3. **Bridge** with BBCR if reasoning halts.
|
||
4. **Re-anchor** using anchor triangulation.
|
||
5. **Verify** coverage ≥ 0.70 and ΔS ≤ 0.45.

## Copy-paste prompt
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.
|
||
|
||
Goal: Detect and repair context drift in long reasoning chains.
|
||
|
||
Protocol:
|
||
|
||
1. Ask the same question three ways.
|
||
2. Log ΔS(question, retrieved) for each.
|
||
3. Log λ states across all hops.
|
||
4. If λ flips:
|
||
|
||
* Apply BBAM clamp.
|
||
* If reasoning stalls, apply BBCR and anchor bridge.
|
||
5. Require snippet\_id at each step.
|
||
6. Report:
|
||
|
||
* ΔS(question, retrieved)
|
||
* λ states across paraphrases
|
||
* bridge nodes inserted
|
||
* final answer with citations
|
||
|
||
```

|
||
|
||
## Common failure patterns
|
||
- **Chain stall**: reasoning halts after ~25–30 hops.
|
||
- **Paraphrase drift**: harmless rewordings flip λ.
|
||
- **Repeating answers**: earlier snippets loop back with filler.
|
||
- **Contradictions**: late chain contradicts early reasoning.
