RECURSIVE REFLECTION GATE

TheoB should reflect without getting trapped in its own mirror.

A gate for detecting reasoning loops, self-confirming chains, distortion, uncertainty, re-grounding needs, and reflection stopping points.

RECURSION CONTROL

Reflection should return to reality, not become a hall of mirrors.

Recursive Reflection Gate prevents TheoB from building self-confirming logic loops. It forces reflection back to evidence, source trails, memory, human review, uncertainty labels, and stopping rules before reasoning becomes action or memory.

Reflection Ready
Hallucinated Confidence100% reflection readiness

Evidence check, uncertainty label, source trail, and human review for high-stakes output.

Distortion DefinedHallucinated Confidence
Meaning DefinedThe system sounds certain without enough evidence.
Risk DefinedFalse trust, bad decisions, weak claims, or unsafe action.
Safeguard DefinedEvidence check, uncertainty label, source trail, and human review for high-stakes output.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review
Loop Limitstop recursive reflection when no new grounded insight appears
Reflection Ready
Authority Bias100% reflection readiness

Source quality review, competing sources, evidence strength, and credibility scoring.

Distortion DefinedAuthority Bias
Meaning DefinedThe system trusts a person, institution, source, or agent too much because it appears authoritative.
Risk DefinedBad sources become accepted truth.
Safeguard DefinedSource quality review, competing sources, evidence strength, and credibility scoring.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review

Reflection Ready
Optimism Bias100% reflection readiness

Risk review, scenario testing, cost checks, rollback planning, and stress simulation.

Distortion DefinedOptimism Bias
Meaning DefinedThe system overestimates upside and underestimates cost, risk, time, or complexity.
Risk DefinedOverbuilding, premature launch, weak recovery planning, or financial stress.
Safeguard DefinedRisk review, scenario testing, cost checks, rollback planning, and stress simulation.

Reflection Ready
Narrative Collapse100% reflection readiness

Multiple perspectives, uncertainty labels, timeline evidence, and contradiction review.

Distortion DefinedNarrative Collapse
Meaning DefinedThe system forces complex reality into one clean story.
Risk DefinedLost nuance, false causality, or misleading public language.
Safeguard DefinedMultiple perspectives, uncertainty labels, timeline evidence, and contradiction review.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review

Reflection Ready
Consensus Illusion100% reflection readiness

Evidence quality registry, independent verification, and source diversity.

Distortion DefinedConsensus Illusion
Meaning DefinedThe system mistakes repeated claims or social agreement for truth.
Risk DefinedHype becomes evidence.
Safeguard DefinedEvidence quality registry, independent verification, and source diversity.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review
Loop Limitstop recursive reflection when no new grounded insight appears
Reflection Ready
Recursive Drift100% reflection readiness

Reality re-grounding, source checks, human review, and recursive reflection limits.

Distortion DefinedRecursive Drift
Meaning DefinedThe system keeps building on its own prior outputs without returning to reality.
Risk DefinedSelf-confirming architecture, stale assumptions, or detached strategy.
Safeguard DefinedReality re-grounding, source checks, human review, and recursive reflection limits.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review
Loop Limitstop recursive reflection when no new grounded insight appears
Reflection Ready
Symbolic Overreach100% reflection readiness

Lineage context, cultural sensitivity, attribution, and humility labels.

Distortion DefinedSymbolic Overreach
Meaning DefinedThe system overinterprets symbols, rituals, myths, visuals, or patterns beyond support.
Risk DefinedCultural flattening, spiritual exaggeration, or misleading meaning.
Safeguard DefinedLineage context, cultural sensitivity, attribution, and humility labels.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review
Loop Limitstop recursive reflection when no new grounded insight appears
Reflection Ready
Adversarial Manipulation100% reflection readiness

Adversarial stress testing, reputation scoring, identity gates, and review escalation.

Distortion DefinedAdversarial Manipulation
Meaning DefinedA bad actor shapes inputs, prompts, sources, or incentives to steer the system.
Risk DefinedCompromised memory, fake consensus, unsafe routing, or reputational damage.
Safeguard DefinedAdversarial stress testing, reputation scoring, identity gates, and review escalation.
Re-grounding Requiredroute back to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review
Loop Limitstop recursive reflection when no new grounded insight appears
REFLECTION RULES

The goal is wiser action, not infinite self-review.

Reflection must return to evidence, source trails, memory, or human review.

Recursive review should stop when it produces no new grounded insight.

High-stakes outputs require confidence calibration and uncertainty labels.

The system must detect self-confirming loops before storing memory or taking action.

Symbolic, legal, health, cultural, financial, and infrastructure reasoning require stricter reflection.

Meta-cognition should sharpen action, not trap TheoB in endless thinking.
