Path-Dependency Auditor
Ki · Single Ability
The Problem
The project plan focuses on short-term utility, ignoring potential path confinement and irreversibility.
The Operation
This cognitive operation forces the model to trace prior choices constraining current options. For each decision, identify points of no return where later switching costs 5x+ current cost. If a choice eliminates 2+ viable future paths, flag high lock-in risk. Verify the decision-maker is aware of irreversibility. Output decision lineage, points of no return with switching costs, lock-in type, and recommendation to proceed, delay, or preserve optionality. The reasoning applies a formal computation: switching cost = sunk cost + transition cost + opportunity cost; per checkpoint=[near,mid,long]. The constraint: never confusing commitment with irreversible lock-in.
The Structure
Under the hood, the reasoning follows a chain of custody audit that traces the provenance of every claim. Execution cycles until the evidence set is fully consumed.
If a decision is evaluated without checking whether it forecloses valuable future options, path dependency auditing was skipped.
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.
