Self-Correction Oscillation: Preventing Flip-Flop Loops

Reliability · updated Mon Feb 23

Stopping agents from toggling between two incorrect states.

Steps

  1. Log every 'Correction Attempt' to detect state repetition.
  2. Implement a 'Maximum Oscillation' limit (e.g., 2 per turn).
  3. Force a 'Third-Option' reasoning requirement if a flip is detected.
  4. Use a 'Higher-Order' model to break the tie in an oscillation.
  5. Reset the agent's 'Assumption Buffer' when a loop occurs.
