Grounding Regressor

Ki · Reasoning

The Problem

The project's success is due to an ungrounded chain of abstract principles without concrete referents.

The Operation

When activated, the model must at each reasoning step, compute the number of inference hops from the nearest concrete referent. If grounding depth exceeds the threshold, halt abstract reasoning and force a re-anchoring step. Extract a concrete observation or example that makes the current abstraction falsifiable. Verify that re-anchoring restores genuine grounding. Trace the chain from anchor to current abstraction and flag any unsupported leap. The reasoning applies a formal computation: hops = count(inference steps to nearest concrete referent). Allow grounding depth to exceed threshold without corrective is rejected.

The Structure

Structurally, this is an anchor-drift-correct cycle that detects when reasoning has drifted from its reference point. The monitor runs continuously, checking for drift at each step.

If abstract claims cannot be traced back to concrete observable referents, grounding regression has failed.

Cross-Domain Suppression

In Haki mode, the API retrieves the primary ability first, then fans out to three synergy roles that compound its reasoning.

When retrieved in Haki mode, the primary ability is augmented with failure guards extracted from 3 abilities in different cognitive domains. Each guard blocks a specific reasoning failure the primary alone wouldn't catch. A self-check forces verification before output. The result is cross-domain coverage that no single ability can reach alone.
