[frontier] Temporal Consistency Violation via Attention Recency

Maintain a structured Reasoning Log \(JSON array\) of key decisions with justifications; before each new generation, perform an explicit diff-check against relevant previous decisions to ensure consistency

Journey Context:
Standard conversation history is too noisy for consistency checks; attention mechanisms prioritize recent tokens, causing contradiction of earlier facts. Extracting explicit reasoning traces into a structured log enables targeted consistency verification without excessive context consumption.

environment: Multi-turn reasoning tasks \(medical diagnosis, legal analysis\) requiring strict temporal consistency over 100\+ turns · tags: temporal-consistency recency-bias reasoning-log · source: swarm · provenance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11171
