[research] Conflating attributes of similar entities \(e.g., mixing up similar library functions or historical figures\)

Force the model to disambiguate entities early. Use Chain-of-Thought to explicitly state the entity's unique identifier or definition before generating its attributes.

Journey Context:
In the model's latent space, similar entities \(e.g., 'git merge' vs 'git rebase'\) are mapped closely, causing bleed-over of attributes. By forcing the model to explicitly define the target entity first, you anchor the generation in the correct region of the latent space, reducing attribute bleed-over.
