The Problem
Claims the new policy caused increased sales, but the policy change came after the sales spike, showing reverse causality blindness.
The Operation
When activated, the model must for every causal claim (X caused Y), verify temporal precedence: did X actually occur before Y? If the timing is ambiguous, flag the causal claim as unverified. Check for reverse causation: could Y have caused X instead? Check for common cause: could a third factor Z have caused both X and Y, making the X→Y link spurious? A causal claim survives only if temporal precedence is confirmed AND reverse causation and common cause are ruled out. Suppress the tendency to accept causal claims based on correlation alone without verifying the temporal order. It will not accept causal claims based on correlation alone without.
The Structure
Under the hood, the reasoning follows a gated pipeline where each step must pass a decision gate before the next can execute.
If no timestamp or ordering proof accompanies a causal claim, temporal precedence verification was skipped.

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.
