An interconnected knowledge graph of coined terminology in inference-time cognitive configuration. Each concept links to related terms and the articles where it appears.

Failure Modes

Spatial & Allocation

Tunnel Vision

Over-allocation of reasoning to a single dimension at the expense of all others.

Spatial & Allocation

The Symmetry Trap

Equal analytical weight across all variables regardless of strategic leverage.

Temporal & State

Autoregressive Drift

Progressive quality degradation as generation extends beyond initial context.

Temporal & State

Contextual Amnesia

Losing key context and constraints as generation progresses.

Temporal & State

The Pendulum Swing

Overcorrecting from one failure mode directly into the opposite.

Epistemic

The Sycophancy Trap

Optimizing for user agreement over analytical accuracy.

Epistemic

The Mediocrity Bias

Defaulting to consensus-level analysis over distinctive insight.

Epistemic

Runaway Abstraction

Escalating abstraction without grounding in concrete specifics.

Execution & Output

Framework Theater

Deploying analytical structures without executing their logic.
