When the retriever returns plausible text, but the LLM answers with facts that are not in the corpus.
|
||
This page stabilizes retrieval → reasoning boundaries and applies WFGY symbolic fixes to stop hallucination loops.

## Core acceptance
|
||
- Every answer includes citation fields (`snippet_id`, `section_id`, `source_url`)
|
||
- ΔS(answer, cited snippet) ≤ 0.45
|
||
- Coverage ≥ 0.70 for cited target section
|
||
- λ convergent across 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds

## Fix in 60 seconds
|
||
|
||
1. **Cite-first enforcement**
|
||
- Force the LLM to output citations before free text.
|
||
- Forbid answers that lack at least one valid snippet_id.
|
||
|
||
2. **ΔS probe**
|
||
- Compute ΔS(answer, cited snippet).
|
||
- If ≥ 0.60, trigger BBPF alternate reasoning path.
|
||
|
||
3. **Apply module**
|
||
- Boundary collapse → BBCR bridge + [Cite-then-Explain](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/cite-then-explain.md)
|
||
- Re-entry loops → [Pattern: Hallucination Re-entry](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_hallucination_reentry.md)

## Copy-paste prompt for debug
|
||
|
||
```txt
|
||
I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.
|
||
|
||
My issue:
|
||
- retrieval finds the fact, but answer hallucinates new content
|
||
- traces: ΔS(answer,cited_snippet)=..., λ across 3 paraphrases
|
||
|
||
Tell me:
|
||
1. failing boundary (retrieval vs reasoning),
|
||
2. exact WFGY page to open,
|
||
3. minimal fix to enforce cite-then-explain and push ΔS ≤ 0.45,
|
||
4. test to verify stability over 3 paraphrases.
