Circular Reasoning Detector

Ki · Single Ability

The Problem

The policy is effective because it is self-justifying, creating a loop of acceptance without external validation.

The Operation

This ability makes the model trace the reasoning chain and map the dependency graph, identify which conclusions support which premises. Scan for cycles where conclusion C supports premise P and P supports C. Do not accept self-referential justifications, reject any argument where evidence for a claim derives from that claim's assumed truth. Verify that every premise has at least one independent justification external to the argument. If a cycle is detected, isolate it, strip the circular link, and demand an externally grounded substitute. It will not accept selfreferential justifications reject any argument.

The Structure

This ability runs on a chain of custody audit that traces the provenance of every claim. The procedure repeats until diminishing returns trigger an exit.

If a conclusion is supported by premises that themselves depend on that conclusion, cycle detection was not applied.

Haki · Multi Ability

Synergy Topology

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, these four abilities don't run in sequence. They merge into a single injection where the dependency grounds the reasoning context, the amplifier sharpens the primary's output, and the alternative provides a fallback path if the primary's topology cannot converge. The result is a multi-angle reasoning scaffold that covers failure modes no single ability can reach alone.
