# Reference Bleed — Multimodal Long Context

When anchor references from one modality **bleed** into another (e.g., text citations treated as video frame IDs, or audio timestamps mapped to OCR page offsets), the reasoning layer merges them incorrectly.  
This is a subtle but destructive failure because each modality appears intact, yet the **cross-modal references are poisoned**.

---

## What this page is
- A repair guide for **reference leakage across modalities**.  
- How to detect when anchors from one stream migrate into another.  
- Structural guardrails to prevent false joins.

---

## When to use
- Captions include numeric anchors that actually come from OCR line numbers.  
- Audio timestamps are reused as image frame references.  
- Citations look correct individually, but do not map to their source modality.  
- Fusion produces valid-looking answers that cite the wrong modality channel.  
- Models drift into hallucination loops citing phantom anchors.

---

## Common failure patterns
- **OCR bleed into captions** — OCR line numbers reused as subtitle timestamps.  
- **Audio bleed into metadata** — transcript anchors become page markers.  
- **Cross-join bleed** — embeddings align across modality without guard, mixing references.  
- **Loop bleed** — once references bleed, fusion propagates wrong anchors forward.  

---

## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Tag and fence references**  
   - Enforce modality-specific IDs: `{ocr_id, cap_id, aud_id, vis_id}`.  
   - Reject any anchor missing a modality tag.

2. **Anchor validation**  
   - Cross-check anchor against source modality.  
   - If caption ID not found in subtitle stream, discard.  

3. **ΔS probe on anchors**  
   - Compute ΔS(anchor, expected modality anchor).  
   - If ≥0.60, suspect bleed.

4. **Re-anchor with BBCR**  
   - Use BBCR bridge to reconnect reference to correct modality.  

5. **Audit trail**  
   - Require citation schema: `{snippet_id | modality | offsets}`.  
   - Forbid references missing modality metadata.

## Copy-paste prompt

```txt
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.

Task: Detect and repair reference bleed across modalities.

Steps:
1. Verify modality tag on each anchor.
2. If tag mismatch, drop or re-map via BBCR.
3. Re-anchor using correct modality stream.
4. Output:
   - anchor table with modality tags
   - suspected bleeds
   - fixed mapping
   - ΔS and λ states
````

---

## Acceptance targets

* 100% anchors contain explicit modality tags.
* ΔS(anchor, expected modality) ≤ 0.45 after repair.
* λ remains convergent across paraphrases.
* No references propagate without modality validation.
