When multimodal long-context windows extend, **boundaries between modalities or section joins blur**.
This causes models to conflate captions, transcripts, or visuals across neighboring regions, producing hybrid outputs or lost anchors.
---
## Symptoms of Boundary Fade
- Captions merge into adjacent paragraphs, citations drift by a few lines.
- Visual snippets spill across sections, losing clear demarcation.
- ΔS across joins rises above 0.50, meaning semantic leakage.
- Output shows partial traces of two anchors instead of one.
- “Memory fade” across session restarts, context joins feel smeared.

- Attention variance and entropy melt: [Entropy Collapse](../MemoryLongContext/entropy-collapse.md)
- Context drift at long horizon: [Context Drift](../MemoryLongContext/context-drift.md)
- Visual trace schema: [Cross-Modal Trace](./cross-modal-trace.md)
- Session state guards: [Memory Coherence](../MemoryLongContext/memory-coherence.md)

## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Measure joins**
- Compute ΔS across each modality join. Threshold ≤ 0.50.
- If higher, suspect boundary fade.
2. **Enforce fences**
- Insert `{section_start}` and `{section_end}` markers explicitly.
- Require `mod_type` label (e.g., `[image]`, `[caption]`, `[audio]`).
3. **Stabilize variance**
- Apply BBAM clamp when variance spikes near joins.
- Use BBCR bridge to redirect reasoning back to the intended anchor.
4. **Audit output**
- Each snippet must map to a single anchor ID.
- Reject blended outputs that merge two snippet IDs.
---
## Acceptance Targets
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 overall.
- ΔS across joins ≤ 0.50.
- λ_observe convergent across three paraphrases.
- No section bleed: one snippet → one anchor only.

## Copy-paste prompt
```txt
You are running TXTOS + WFGY Problem Map.
Symptom: section or modality boundaries blur (“boundary fade”).
Protocol:
1. Compute ΔS across joins, enforce ≤ 0.50.
2. Insert section_start and section_end markers.
3. Require mod_type labels for all snippets.
4. Apply BBAM clamp, BBCR bridge if joins collapse.
5. Verify each snippet maps to exactly one anchor ID.
