Recursive reasoning is powerful when bounded, but without structural guardrails it often collapses into infinite self-reference.
|
||
This page shows how to detect runaway loops and stabilize recursion into meaningful layers.

|
||
## Symptoms
|
||
|
||
| Symptom | What you see |
|
||
|---------|--------------|
|
||
| Infinite repetition | Output re-states the same phrase or equation |
|
||
| Self-reference collapse | “As I said earlier…” repeated without progress |
|
||
| Meta-loop | Model reasons about its own reasoning instead of the task |
|
||
| Token drain | Long answers with no new content |
|
||
| Citation spin | Same snippet referenced endlessly |
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Acceptance Targets
|
||
|
||
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
|
||
- λ convergent across 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds
|
||
- Recursion depth ≤ 4 nested layers
|
||
- Each recursive frame adds ≥ 1 new fact or citation
|
||

## Fix in 60 Seconds
|
||
|
||
1. **Measure recursion depth**
|
||
- Log frame depth at each step.
|
||
- If depth > 4, clamp recursion.
|
||
|
||
2. **Apply ΔS probe**
|
||
- Compute ΔS between consecutive recursive outputs.
|
||
- If ΔS < 0.15, stop recursion (no new information).
|
||
|
||
3. **Bridge with BBCR**
|
||
- Collapse intermediate steps into one summary frame.
|
||
- Resume reasoning with BBMC anchor locks.
|
||
|
||
4. **Variance clamp**
|
||
- If λ diverges between recursive calls, apply BBAM.

## Copy-Paste Probe
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.
|
||
|
||
My reasoning chain entered a recursive loop.
|
||
Depth = {n}, ΔS progression = {values}, λ states = {values}.
|
||
|
||
Tell me:
|
||
|
||
1. Which layer is looping?
|
||
2. Which fix page applies?
|
||
3. Minimal steps to clamp recursion and restore ΔS ≤ 0.45.
|
||
4. How to verify no infinite loop persists.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Escalation
|
||
|
||
- If recursion repeats across 3 seeds → enforce [logic-collapse.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md).
|
||
- If ΔS remains flat → re-embed corpus and verify with [chunking-checklist.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/chunking-checklist.md).
|
||
- If λ oscillates between recursion depths → lock schema ordering with [rerankers.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md).
