When answers alternate or degrade as dialogs get longer, even though the retriever continues to surface the right snippets.
|
||
This page stabilizes λ (semantic convergence) and prevents entropy creep in retrieval-augmented pipelines.

||
## Core acceptance
|
||
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 across full chain
|
||
- λ stays convergent across 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds
|
||
- Coverage ≥ 0.70 for target section, even after N steps
|
||
- E_resonance stable on long dialog windows

| Symptom | Likely cause | Open this |
|
||
|---------|--------------|-----------|
|
||
| Same question asked twice, different answers | λ drift with long chain | [Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md), [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md) |
|
||
| Correct snippets retrieved, answer drops citation | payload contract erosion | [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md), [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) |

||
| Paraphrase of query yields different grounding | unstable λ_observe | [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md) |
|
||
| Long dialog overwrites memory | buffer collapse | [Memory Long Context](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Multimodal_LongContext/README.md) |

## Fix in 60 seconds
|
||
|
||
1. **Three-paraphrase probe**
|
||
- Ask the same question three ways.
|
||
- If λ flips between paraphrases, lock snippet schema and apply BBAM variance clamp.
|
||
|
||
2. **ΔS check over chain**
|
||
- Log ΔS(question,retrieved) across 5–10 dialog turns.
|
||
- If ΔS rises over time, re-segment and enforce citation-first prompting.
|
||
|
||
3. **Apply module**
|
||
- Drift → BBMC + [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
|
||
- Collapse mid-chain → BBCR bridge + [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md)
|
||
- Unstable variance → BBAM clamp + [Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md)

## Copy-paste probe prompt
|
||
|
||
```txt
|
||
I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map.
|
||
|
||
My issue:
|
||
- same query gives different answers in long dialog
|
||
- traces: ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., λ states across 3 paraphrases
|
||
|
||
Tell me:
|
||
1) where context drift occurs,
|
||
2) the exact WFGY page to open,
|
||
3) the minimal fix to enforce convergence,
|
||
4) a reproducible test over 5 turns.
