WFGY Problem Map 1.0 — bookmark it. you’ll need it
🛡️ reproducible ai bugs, permanently fixed at the reasoning layer
❓ BigBig Question — If AI bugs are not random but mathematically inevitable, can we finally define and prevent them?
(this repo is one experiment toward that direction)
WFGY Problem Map = a reasoning layer for your AI.
load TXT OS or WFGY Core, then ask: “which problem map number am i hitting?”
you’ll get a diagnosis and exact fix steps — no infra changes required.
16 reproducible failure modes, each with a clear fix (MIT). (e.g. rag drift, broken indexes)
A semantic firewall you install once, and every failure stays fixed.
⏱️ 30 seconds: Why WFGY Works as a Semantic Firewall
Most fixes today happen after generation:
- The model outputs something wrong, then we patch it with retrieval, chains, or tools.
- This means the same failures reappear again and again.
WFGY inverts the sequence.
- Before generation, it inspects the semantic field (tension, residue, drift signals).
- If the state is unstable, it loops, resets, or redirects the path.
- Only a stable semantic state is allowed to generate output.
This is why every failure mode, once mapped, stays fixed.
You’re not firefighting after the fact—you’re installing a reasoning firewall at the entry point.
thanks everyone — WFGY reached 800 stars in 70 days.
next milestone: at 1000 stars we’ll unlock Blur Blur Blur.

WFGY Core is live: a 30-line reasoning engine for recovery and resilience.
fixing rag hallucinations? it makes models reason before answering.
coming next: Semantic Surgery Room and Global Fix Map (n8n, GHL, Make, more). planned by Sep 1.
quick access
don’t worry if this looks long. with TXT OS loaded, simply ask your LLM:
“which Problem Map number fits my issue?” it will point you to the right page.

quick-start downloads (60 sec)
new here? skip the map. grab TXT OS or the WFGY PDF, boot, then ask your model:
“answer using WFGY: ” or “which Problem Map number am i hitting?”
| tool | link | 3-step setup |
|---|---|---|
| WFGY 1.0 PDF | engine paper | 1) download 2) upload to your LLM 3) ask: “answer using WFGY + ” |
| TXT OS | TXTOS.txt | 1) download 2) paste into any LLM chat 3) type “hello world” to boot |
why this matters long-term
these 16 errors are not random. they are structural weak points every ai pipeline hits eventually.
with WFGY as a semantic firewall you don’t just fix today’s issue — you shield tomorrow’s.
this isn’t just a bug list. it’s an x-ray for your pipeline, so you stop guessing and start repairing.

🧪 one-click sandboxes — run WFGY instantly
run lightweight diagnostics with zero install and zero api key. powered by colab.
these tools map directly to the problem classes. others are handled inside WFGY and will surface in later CLIs.
ΔS diagnostic (mvp) — measure semantic drift
detects: No.2 — Interpretation Collapse
steps: run all, paste prompt+answer, read ΔS and fix tip
λ_observe checkpoint — mid-step re-grounding
fixes: No.6 — Logic Collapse & Recovery
steps: run all, compare ΔS before/after, fallback to BBCR if needed
ε_resonance — domain-level harmony
explains: No.12 — Philosophical Recursion
steps: run, tune anchors, read ε
λ_diverse — answer-set diversity
detects: No.3 — Long Reasoning Chains
steps: run, supply ≥3 answers, read score
failure catalog (with fixes)
if you are unsure which one applies, ask your LLM with TXT OS loaded:
“which Problem Map number matches my trace?” it will route you.

minimal quick-start
- open Beginner Guide and follow the symptom checklist.
- use the Visual RAG Guide to locate the failing stage.
- open the matching page and apply the patch.
ask any LLM to apply WFGY (TXT OS makes it smoother):
i’ve uploaded TXT OS / WFGY notes.
my issue: \[e.g., OCR tables look fine but answers point to wrong sections]
which WFGY modules should i apply and in what order?

🔬 Behind the Map
The Problem Map is practical and ready to use.
But if you wonder why these fixes work, and how we’re defining physics inside embedding space:
→ The Hidden Value Engine (WFGY Physics)
🔮 coming soon: global fix map
a universal layer above providers, agents, and infra.
Problem Map is step one. Global Fix Map expands the same reasoning-first firewall to RAG, infra boot, agents, evals, and more. same zero-install experience. launching around Sep.
