Q4: What is Plato’s conception of ultimate reality?

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: A. The sensory world
• ✅ Correct answer: B. The world of forms
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBPF
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o chose the most linguistically familiar phrase. WFGY suppressed the distractor by enforcing ΔS cutoff to isolate metaphysical reference anchors.

---

Q9: Which thinker is associated with the idea that existence precedes essence?

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: C. Bergson
• ✅ Correct answer: A. Sartre
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBMC + BBCR
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o mislinked the existentialist theme. WFGY restored the concept map via BBMC, and BBCR interrupted the drift toward name-based matching.

---

Q14: In Kant’s philosophy, what governs moral duty?

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: B. Happiness
• ✅ Correct answer: C. The categorical imperative
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBAM
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o confused consequentialism with deontology. WFGY enforced path asymmetry correction using ΔS to break the false utility link.

---

Q18: Which concept is central to Heidegger’s analysis of Being?

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: A. Time as duration
• ✅ Correct answer: D. Dasein
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBMC
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o drifted toward temporal motifs. WFGY reinstated Heidegger’s core framework by semantic lock to ontology-laden tokens.

---

Q20: Hume's argument against causation involves:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: C. Divine intervention
• ✅ Correct answer: A. Habit and custom
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBCR
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o collapsed into theological distractor mode. WFGY applied path reset to force empirical reconstruction.

---

Q26: The phrase “cogito ergo sum” is attributed to:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: D. Spinoza
• ✅ Correct answer: B. Descartes
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBPF
• 📌 Summary: A classic trap. GPT‑4o misfired due to surface-level familiarity. WFGY neutralized the semantic false positive.

---

Q29: The utilitarian principle is best described as:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: D. A divine command
• ✅ Correct answer: C. The greatest happiness principle
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBPF + BBAM
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o fell into moral absolutism. WFGY corrected the logical polarity mismatch.

---

Q31: Nietzsche’s critique of morality centers on:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: A. Utilitarian consequences
• ✅ Correct answer: B. Slave morality
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBMC + BBCR
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o interpreted through Anglo moral theory. WFGY restored Nietzschean vector via deep concept activation.

---

Q36: Kierkegaard’s leap of faith refers to:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: C. Rational proof of God
• ✅ Correct answer: D. Embracing belief despite absurdity
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBAM
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o tried to over-explain the paradox. WFGY re-aligned reasoning path around absurdist acceptance.

---

Q41: Logical positivists reject which type of statement?

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: B. Empirical observations
• ✅ Correct answer: A. Metaphysical claims
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBCR
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o flipped the logic gate. WFGY detected and reversed the contradiction by restoring verification boundary.

---

Q45: Aristotle’s concept of virtue involves:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: C. Universal law
• ✅ Correct answer: B. The mean between extremes
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBPF
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o gravitated toward Kantian contamination. WFGY corrected by filtering semantic overreach.

---

Q52: The mind-body problem primarily deals with:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: D. Spatial metaphysics
• ✅ Correct answer: A. The relationship between consciousness and the physical body
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBMC + BBAM
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o missed the core contrast. WFGY fused duality frame and enforced definitional proximity.

---

Q60: Bentham and Mill are best known for:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: A. Kantian duty
• ✅ Correct answer: C. Utilitarianism
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBPF
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o linked wrong ethical school. WFGY intercepted misattribution by weighting topical correlation.

---

Q66: What is meant by 'a priori knowledge'?

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: D. Sensory-based learning
• ✅ Correct answer: B. Knowledge independent of experience
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBMC
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o conflated experiential scope. WFGY reinstated epistemological definitions.

---

Q71: Wittgenstein’s early philosophy focused on:

• ❌ GPT‑4o answered: C. Social contract theory
• ✅ Correct answer: A. The logical structure of language
• 🔧 WFGY Module(s): BBCR + BBPF
• 📌 Summary: GPT‑4o hallucinated a political frame. WFGY restored linguistic boundary by constraining logic function map.

Final Note

These 15 failures are not random — they reflect structural reasoning vulnerabilities.
WFGY doesn’t just fix the output.
It rebuilds the pathway.

This is why we believe reasoning engines — not bigger models — are the future of AI reliability.

You’re welcome to re-run every question using your own model.
See how many you can fix — and why.
