Circular Reasoning Detector

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.

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.
