The Problem

This is the reasoning gap. We need to choose between three database vendors, there's no clear winner on price or features, so an arbitrary selection based on the team lead's preference is fine.

The Operation

This ability restructures the procedure. When multiple conflicting options lack a clear winner, scan for a principled selection rule rather than choosing arbitrarily. Check for dominance -- does any option beat all others on every criterion? If so, select it. If no dominant option exists, filter for Pareto optimality and rank the non-dominated set. Apply a tiebreaker aligned with problem priorities -- minimize worst-case, maximize expected value, or preserve flexibility. Verify that the chosen rule fits the problem context.

The Structure

The reasoning structure is a convergence funnel where multiple candidates enter, evidence narrows them, and only survivors exit. The loop continues until the output stabilizes and further iterations produce no change.

If a choice among options is made without articulating the selection principle that justifies it, principled selection was not performed.

Cross-Domain Suppression

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

PrimaryAB-048Ultrafilter Consensus Engine

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.
