Signal Drop — Guardrails and Fix Pattern

Think of this page as a desk within a ward.
If you need the full triage and all prescriptions, return to the Emergency Room lobby.

When multimodal sessions extend across long contexts, one or more modalities may drop out entirely or become invisible to the reasoning pipeline.
This creates “blind layers” where text, image, or audio cues vanish mid-sequence, leading to broken reasoning or silent hallucination.

Symptoms of Signal Drop

Model responds as if a modality was never provided.
Visual reference ignored after ~20–30 turns.
Audio transcript included but not grounded in reasoning.
Captions persist but semantic anchors drift apart.
Silent failure: no error is thrown, yet cross-modal grounding is gone.

Cross-modal stability: Alignment Drift
Long-context melt: Entropy Collapse
Boundary checks: Boundary Fade (planned)
Retrieval schema: Cross-Modal Trace
State fences: Memory Coherence

Fix in 60 seconds

Detect silence
- Log presence/absence of {text, visual, audio} per turn.
- If any modality = null for >2 steps, flag as drop.
Inject continuity token
- Add mod_keepalive in the system schema to enforce recall of modality.
- Force echo of modality presence in every reasoning header.
Re-anchor references
- If image or audio missing, insert placeholder with ΔS=skip instead of null.
- Prevent collapse by keeping λ_observe convergent.
Stabilize joins
- Split by {text | image | audio} sections.
- Clamp cross-joins with BBAM to stop runaway drift.

Acceptance Targets

Coverage: ≥ 0.70 for all active modalities.
ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 even when one modality drops.
λ_observe remains convergent across three paraphrases.
No silent modality loss beyond two turns.

Copy-paste prompt

You are running TXTOS + WFGY Problem Map.

Symptom: modality vanished (text, image, or audio).  
Task: detect, re-anchor, and restore multimodal stability.

Protocol:
1. Log {text, visual, audio} presence each turn.
2. If any missing for >2 steps, insert placeholder `mod_keepalive`.
3. Require ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 across modalities.
4. Use BBAM for variance clamp, BBCR bridge if joins collapse.
5. Cite then answer; no orphan visual or audio references allowed.
