# Thought Layer Audit Architecture (TLAA)

**Single-Model Multi-Mode Tiered Logic Audit and Precision Editing System (V3.0)**

**Technical Architecture Proposal**

**Document Version**: V3.0 (Covering the complete evolution from V1.0 to V3.0)
**Date**: May 2026
**Positioning**: System Architecture Design Proposal / Technical Discussion Paper
**Audience**: AI Technical Teams (Researchers, Engineers), Product Managers

## Version Evolution Overview

This architecture has undergone three iterative versions:

- **V1.0**: Established the core "Thought Layer – Execution Layer" separation architecture. Through exploratory testing, we discovered the phenomenon of "over-inference manufacturing false premises," and proposed G0-G4 tiered audit, three-layer causal memory, dynamic trust weighting, and a meta-audit closed loop.

- **V2.0**: Built upon V1.0, proposed a dual-layer assurance architecture integrating **internalized logic training with independent audit**—the Execution Layer internalizes basic logic error-correction capabilities through Process Supervision (PRM) and Self-Reflection (ReVISE) training, while the independent Thought Layer handles deep auditing, forming a positive feedback loop of "Execution Layer self-check → Thought Layer external review."

- **V3.0**: Further explores, building on V2.0: ① embedding the Thought Layer as a "Logic Verification Expert Module" within the MoE architecture, transitioning logic audit from "external supervision" to "endogenous immunity"; ② clarifying the **structural difference in cognitive modes** between the Thought Layer and the Execution Layer—the Execution Layer is a constructor that "given premises, derives conclusions," while the Thought Layer is a deconstructor that "sees conclusions, traces back premises, and actively steps outside context." V3.0 adds cognitive mode adversarial training, self-justification detection, context-exiting mechanisms, and other capabilities. The Thought Layer's cleanliness is upgraded from "physical isolation" to "logical constraint," guaranteed through three mechanisms: parameter independence, role locking, and training isolation.

## Abstract

This document proposes a system architecture based on the "Thought Layer – Execution Layer" separation to address the phenomenon where large language models may manufacture false premises and produce logical deviations in deep thinking mode. Through exploratory testing, we observed that in certain logical trap problems, limiting inference depth may actually improve accuracy. Based on this observation, this proposal designs a single-model multi-mode tiered audit mechanism (G0–G4), combined with three-layer causal memory, dynamic trust weighting, and a meta-audit closed loop, aiming to achieve improved logical reliability at controllable cost.

In architectural positioning, the Execution Layer serves as the user-facing "surface window," responsible for rapid response and fluent generation; the Thought Layer serves as the non-external-facing "deep window" (or subconscious layer), running on-demand in the background, independently examining reasoning correctness, and transparently presenting audit opinions through the sandbox editing window. This design aligns with the dual-window/dual-mind architecture concepts currently being explored in the industry.

**(V2.0)** This architecture proposes a dual-layer assurance mechanism integrating **internalized logic training with independent audit**: the Execution Layer internalizes basic logic error-correction capabilities through process supervision and self-reflection training, while the independent Thought Layer handles deep auditing and false premise interception. The two are expected to form a positive feedback loop—as the Execution Layer's logic capability strengthens, the frequency of high-cost audit triggers may decrease.

**(V3.0)** This architecture further explores: ① embedding the Thought Layer as a "Logic Verification Expert Module" (i.e., the Thought Layer's embedded form within the MoE architecture) inside the model, making logic audit capability a native part of the model architecture, transitioning from "external supervision" to "endogenous immunity"; ② clarifying that the Thought Layer must differ fundamentally from the Execution Layer in **cognitive mode**—the Thought Layer is not a calmer generator, but an independent examiner specifically trained to question, trace back, and step outside frameworks. This difference is cultivated through logic training, cognitive mode adversarial training, and GRPO optimization. The Thought Layer's cleanliness no longer depends on physical isolation, but is guaranteed through three mechanisms: parameter independence, role locking, and training isolation.

This proposal is designed based on existing mature open-source components. The additional maintenance and training costs may be partially or fully offset by innovations such as inference savings from precision editing and the parallel computing efficiency brought by the Thought Layer as a logic verification expert module; the balance of costs and benefits requires practical engineering validation and is presented here as a qualitative assessment only.

## 1. Problem Statement and Motivation

### 1.1 Observed Phenomenon

We conducted exploratory testing using three classic logical trap problems (TV Borrowing Money, Four Oranges One Cut, Car Wash), with the following results:

| Test Mode | TV Problem | Orange Problem | Wash Problem | Score | Observed Phenomenon |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Deep Thinking Mode (Exec. Layer fully on) | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | 0/3 | Introduced assumptions not given in problem, over-inference |
| Fast Mode (Exec. Layer constrained) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | 3/3 | Direct judgment based on given information |
| Qwen Fast Mode | ✓ | ✓ (dual solutions) | ✓ | 3/3 | Provided two solution paths simultaneously |
| Kimi Fast Mode | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ | 1/3 | Maintained simplicity on partial problems |

**Analysis**: This exploratory test shows that in certain types of logical trap problems, limiting inference steps and sampling randomness may help the model avoid introducing assumptions not given in the problem statement. This provides preliminary reference for the hypothesis that "the Execution Layer's over-inference may manufacture false premises, while a constrained Thought Layer may intercept such errors." It should be noted that this test is limited in scale, and the generalizability of its conclusions requires further experimental verification.

### 1.2 Limitations of Existing Approaches

Current approaches to improving model logical reliability mainly include:

- **Scaling model size and training data**: Improves overall capability but does not systematically address errors potentially introduced by "over-inference."

- **Chain-of-Thought and deep thinking modes**: Enhance multi-step reasoning capability but may amplify the negative impact of false premises in certain tasks.

- **RAG and external knowledge retrieval**: Help with knowledge updates but do not address logical reasoning deviations after retrieving correct information.

- **Internalized logic training (Process Supervision / Self-Reflection / Neuro-Symbolic)**: Integrates logic capability into the model but may still be limited by the single model's cognitive blind spots—a model trained with self-reflection may still exhibit systematic errors in deep thinking mode.

**(V3.0)** Existing approaches particularly fail to address the Execution Layer's "self-justification" trap: when a user asks the AI "Is the method you provided really effective?", the AI tends to continue advancing along its already-generated reasoning chain, not hesitating to fabricate principles to forcefully justify its logic, rather than stepping outside the original framework to objectively examine multiple possibilities. This cognitive inertia is something the Execution Layer cannot overcome on its own.

This proposal attempts to provide a complementary logic assurance mechanism at the system architecture level for the above approaches.

### 1.3 Motivation Summary

We need a mechanism that can provide a counterbalance when the model "thinks too much"—not to make it think deeper, but to help it remain faithful to the original intention. This is precisely the fundamental purpose of the "Thought Layer"'s existence.

## 2. Design Philosophy and Core Principles

### 2.1 Basic Analogy: Execution Layer and Thought Layer

The architecture draws from the division of cognitive labor in the human brain:

- **Execution Layer**: Responsible for fluent content generation, tool invocation, detail filling, pursuing efficiency and coherence.

- **Thought Layer**: Responsible for receiving and guarding the user's original intention, setting logical boundaries, examining reasoning correctness (especially causal chains), evaluating output quality, and initiating corrections. It primarily calibrates direction, not generating content.

**Principle**: When generating long texts, large language models, due to their autoregressive nature, may tend to maintain local coherence, potentially leading to deviations from pre-established constraints. The independent Thought Layer aims to provide a mechanism to verify during or after generation to reduce the impact of such deviations.

### 2.2 Core Principles and Rationale

- **Macro-Causality First**: Before filling in details, it is advisable to first establish key premises, causal structures, and boundaries. Framework precedes details. If core logic is erroneous, subsequent details are meaningless. This principle aims to focus limited computation on the logical backbone.

- **Thought Layer Independence and Cleanliness (V1.0)**: The Thought Layer must be faithful to the original intention, with user original input unchanged; it maintains judgment stability through low temperature and constrained inference steps. Through exploratory testing, we observed that in multi-branch, high-temperature mode, models sometimes introduce constraints not given in the problem, leading to erroneous reasoning. In contrast, when sampling and inference steps are constrained, models tend more to make judgments based on given information.

- **(V3.0) Cognitive Mode Difference between Thought Layer and Execution Layer**: The Thought Layer's reasoning approach must differ from the Execution Layer's. The Execution Layer's thinking is a linear construction of "given premises, derive conclusions"; the Thought Layer's thinking is a deconstructive examination of "see conclusions, trace back premises, examine reasoning, actively step outside context." The Thought Layer is required to: move from "extending reasoning" to "tracing back premises," from "answer-oriented" to "question-oriented," from "internal verification" to "external verification"—not only examining whether the reasoning chain is internally consistent, but also stepping outside the content framework to consider whether alternative paths or counterexamples exist. This difference is not a fine-tuning at the parameter setting level, but a structural difference in modes of thinking.

- **Clearly Defined and Focused Responsibilities**: The Thought Layer focuses on causal chain verification, identification of some non-causal logical fallacies (premise substitution, circular reasoning, correlation-conflation-as-causation, etc.), and perspective compatibility detection. Additionally, the Thought Layer assumes source tracing and verification functions, distinguishing between "original memory" and "AI hypotheses" in the Execution Layer's output, and performing confidence labeling and verification tracking on AI hypotheses.

- **Acknowledging Ignorance**: Information that cannot be verified is marked "unverified"; contradictions that cannot be resolved are shelved; compatible multiple solutions are presented side by side.

- **Source Trust Stratification**: Different sources are assigned different initial weights and can be dynamically adjusted. Trust is based on evidence and repeated verification, not absolute obedience.

- **Task-Mode Matching**: Automatically or manually switch between different inference modes (G0–G4) of the same model based on task complexity and risk.

- **Minimum Cost Principle**: After draft generation, subsequent modifications only target specific paragraphs, utilizing cached Key-Value pairs to avoid re-encoding the full text. The modification phase incremental cost is relatively lightweight.

- **Thought Layer Switchable**: Provides a user-side three-state toggle (Auto/Manual On/Manual Off).

- **Self-Evolution**: Through training methods such as process supervision and preference alignment, the system can optimize inference performance from audit feedback.

- **Thought Layer as Different Operating Configurations of the Same Model**: No additional model needed; switch to "logic audit" state by adjusting generation parameters (temperature, steps) and prompts.

- **Security Isolation**: AI tool invocations such as copy and modify are confined within the sandbox window, with clear permission boundaries.

- **Editing-Oriented Interaction**: Supports precision modification capabilities such as copy-optimize, copy-while-writing, and diff-replacement in independent windows.

- **Memory Management Like Flowing Water**: The context window acts as a container; content can be "poured out" (archived to deep memory) and "refilled" (loading only key memory points) as needed, achieving cross-task coherence through global memory points.

- **(V2.0) Internalization and Decoupling Synergy**: The Execution Layer internalizes basic error-correction capabilities through logic-driven training, while the Thought Layer, as an independent audit layer, handles deep vulnerability interception. The two form a two-level collaborative mechanism of "Execution Layer self-check → Thought Layer external review," potentially forming a positive feedback loop.

- **(V3.0) Thought Layer Logical Cleanliness: From Physical Isolation to Logical Constraint**: When the Thought Layer is embedded as a logic verification expert module within the MoE architecture, its independence is guaranteed through three mechanisms—parameter independence (independent sub-network), role locking (dedicated fine-tuning and constrained inference), and training isolation (controlled data proportions and adversarial training). Cleanliness no longer relies on "separate deployment" but on "logical independence."

## 3. System Panoramic Architecture

### 3.1 User Side: Three-State Toggle + Sandbox Editing Window

- **Three-State Toggle**: Auto (default), Manual On (starts from G2), Manual Off (G0).

- **Sandbox Editing Window**: An independent text editing area where AI can perform internal copy and precision modifications. The Thought Layer's audit opinions can be transparently displayed to users through this window, but the editing window is a unidirectional display channel—the Execution Layer cannot inject information into the Thought Layer through the editing window.

### 3.2 Backend: Multiple Operating Configurations of the Same Base Model

**(V1.0/V2.0)** The Thought Layer operates as the base model in a low-temperature, inference-step-constrained, audit-specific prompt state.
**(V3.0)** Further exploration of solidifying the Thought Layer as a dedicated logic verification expert module within the MoE architecture.

- **Shallow Inference**: Audit mode limits inference steps (typically ≤2), disables multi-branch search, uses low-temperature sampling.

- **Adaptive Tiering**: Components are combined on-demand from G0 to G4, with costs controllable at each tier.

- **Output-Driven Modification**: Audit results carry structured modification instructions, triggering the Execution Layer to perform targeted corrections based on the draft.

### 3.4 Copy Permission Architecture: Internal Copy and External Copy Separation

- **Internal Copy (Zero Permission)**: Text operations performed by AI within the sandbox editing window, not touching the external system clipboard.

- **External Copy (Authorization Required)**: Import (External → AI) authorized by user; Export (AI → External) requires explicit user confirmation.

## 4. Core Module Principles

### 4.1 Dynamic Prompt Generator

**Principle**: Based on current task type, audit level, and the most relevant constraints in memory, dynamically generate prefix prompts. Audit prompts do not embed fixed logic rules—they only activate the model's internalized logic capabilities through role description.

### 4.2 Three-Layer Memory Architecture and "Memory Like Flowing Water" Mechanism

- **Context Window Memory (Workbench)**: KV cache, limited capacity, supports paging and review.

- **Active/Persistent Memory (Cache)**: Core memory maintained active across conversations (approximately 1000 entries), using compound eviction strategy of memory gravity + LRU + importance scoring.

- **Deep Memory (Single Source of Truth)**: Source Layer (graph database + vector database, never deleted) + Compression Layer (macro-node index) + Contradiction Shelving Area.

**"Memory Like Flowing Water" Scheduling**: Creation complete → Differential extraction of key details beyond outline → Archive to Source Layer → Generate macro-nodes → Clear window → Load memory needed for new task.

### 4.3 Sequential ID and Short Keyword ID System

Dual-track ID mechanism: Structured sequential IDs for audit tracing; human-readable short keyword IDs for intuitive retrieval, maximum two-layer structure, no deep nesting.

### 4.4 Original/Hypothetical Memory

Distinguishes "original memory" from users and verified data from "hypothetical memory" produced by model inference; the latter can be upgraded upon user confirmation. During the audit process, the Thought Layer performs source tracing, determining for each key assertion whether it belongs to original memory or is an AI hypothesis, and annotating hypotheses with confidence levels and verification chains.

### 4.5 Five-Level Source Trust Weighting

L4 (User Statement) has the highest weight but is not absolute truth; L3 through L0 decrease successively. Retrieval score = semantic similarity × trust weight × type multiplier. Dynamically adjusted; in conflicts, lower levels can question higher levels' factual premises but cannot override their intent.

### 4.6 Cross-Validation Gatekeeping and Contradiction Shelving

New information must undergo consistency checking with existing knowledge before entering long-term memory. Contradictions that cannot be resolved are shelved, marked as abandoned long-term. When perspectives are compatible, marked as "Multi-Perspective Valid" and presented side by side.

### 4.7 Logical Reasoning Architecture

**General Reasoning**: CoT, ToT/GoT, ReAct, code execution.
**Causal Reasoning**: LLM constructs causal graph → DoWhy causal engine executes do-calculus and counterfactual inference → Thought Layer supervises and interprets.

### 4.8 Endogenous Reflection Module (Thought Layer Audit Mode, Depth-Constrained)

**(V1.0/V2.0)** Force the Thought Layer to remain "shallow" through low temperature (\<0.3), constrained inference steps (≤2), and disabled multi-branch search to prevent it from manufacturing false premises.

**(V3.0) Cognitive Mode Difference between Thought Layer and Execution Layer**: The Thought Layer structurally differs from the Execution Layer in reasoning approach—

- **From "Extending Reasoning" to "Tracing Back Premises"**: The Execution Layer constructs forward; the Thought Layer examines backward. The Thought Layer first generates 2-3 potential questioning directions, then verifies them one by one.

- **From "Answer-Oriented" to "Question-Oriented"**: Distinguishes between "prove the method is effective" and "objectively evaluate whether the method is truly effective"—two different cognitive requirements.

- **From "Internal Verification" to "External Verification"**: Steps outside the Execution Layer's circular argumentation, introducing external perspectives and alternative solutions.

- **Mandatory Context-Exiting**: At least one "outside-context examination" is performed, restarting from the user's original question.

- **(V3.0 Added) Self-Justification Detection**: Identifies whether the Execution Layer is forcefully justifying along its existing reasoning chain when questioned by the user, and whether alternative solutions and counterexamples have been considered.

**Audit Responsibilities Focus**: Causal chain specifics, non-causal logic supplementation, user premise verification, source tracing and verification (distinguishing between original memory and AI hypotheses in the Execution Layer's output), perspective compatibility, self-justification detection. Explicitly does not cover rhetoric, style, emotion, subjective value judgments.

**Tiered Activation**: G1 intent alignment + window integrity; G2 adds logic scanning + source tracing and trust checking + perspective compatibility + self-justification detection; G3 adds iterative revision + contradiction shelving + review; G4 adds meta-audit + user adjudication + causal engine.

### 4.9 Context Window Management and Review

Drawing from MemGPT's paging concept, the Thought Layer plays a scheduling role, swapping memory in and out as needed. The review function relies on sequential IDs to precisely retrieve historical segments.

### 4.10 Thought Layer Meta-Quality Assurance (G4 Activation)

Four-layer heterogeneous joint assurance: Rule engine (structural checks) → Small model multiple sampling voting → Meta-audit random spot-checking (approximately 1% probability) → User final adjudication.

### 4.11 Iterative Modification Mechanism for Generated Content

Three approaches: Diff-replacement (zero cost), Copy-while-writing (pay only for modified segment cost), Constrained regeneration (extreme cases). Sandbox editing window provides visual workspace.

### 4.12 Self-Optimization and Training Loop

- **(V2.0)** Execution Layer internalized logic training: Process Supervision (PRM), Self-Reflection (ReVISE), curriculum learning and adversarial training.

- **(V3.0)** Thought Layer specialized training: Behavioral cloning initialization → GRPO optimization → Cognitive mode adversarial training (routing experts generate "forcefully self-justifying" answers, Thought Layer learns to detect) → Logic training data injection (causal inference, counterfactual thinking, fallacy identification, multi-path comparison).

Two-level collaborative positive feedback loop: Stronger Execution Layer → Higher draft quality → Lower frequency of high-cost audit triggers → Potential decrease in system long-term operating costs.

### 4.13 Thought Layer Positioned as Deep Window

The Execution Layer is the surface window (rapid response), the Thought Layer is the deep window (silent audit), able to transparently present the audit process through the sandbox editing window. Aligned with prior research architectures (DUMA, Dual-Consciousness Interface, DPT-Agent) in concept, but differentiated in tiered activation, depth constraints, and meta-audit assurance.

### 4.14 Thought Layer Embedded within MoE Architecture (V3.0)

Dedicate 1-2 experts as logic verification experts, kept continuously activated across all layers. Work in parallel with routing experts layer by layer, potentially enabling "generate while verifying" auditing. Architecturally consistent with DeepSeek MoE's "shared expert" design.

**Cleanliness Guarantee (V3.0)**: Parameter independence (dedicated FFN, gradient isolation) + Role locking (fine-tuning solidification, forced low temperature) + Training isolation (data proportion separation, adversarial training).

**KV Cache Selective Isolation**: Read-only sharing (user input, constraints, and other precursor information); generation isolation (draft content, reasoning chain intermediate states not shared).

## 5. Key Design Decisions and Trade-offs

### 5.1 Why Single-Model Multi-Mode Rather Than Multi-Model

Multi-model has high maintenance costs; single-model switches through parameters and prompts, with low maintenance costs and good capability consistency.

### 5.2 Why Structured IDs Require Additional Maintenance Costs

In exchange for complete traceability in extreme cases—semantic retrieval excels at fuzzy coverage, but strict backtracking requires precise audit trails. Traceability is a rigid requirement in professional domains (legal, medical, financial).

### 5.3 How Trust Weighting Handles "Even Mom Can Be Wrong"

L4 has the highest weight but no immunity from factual challenge. Conflicts are proactively reported to the user for clarification, avoiding the extremes of "absolute obedience" or "blind questioning."

### 5.4 Why Meta-Audit Adopts an Engineering Compromise

Rather than pursuing a perfect theoretical closed loop, four-layer heterogeneous assurance provides daily defense, with user adjudication as the terminal exit to stop recursion.

### 5.5 Qualitative Assessment of Costs and Benefits

This architecture introduces new cost items, including code maintenance, model training, and audit token consumption. At the same time, through measures such as KV cache reuse reducing modification costs, single-model eliminating multi-model maintenance burden, parallel audit computing potentially reducing latency, and audit frequency decreasing as base model capability strengthens, these additional costs may be partially or fully offset. Due to the absence of operational data, a quantitative comparison of costs and benefits cannot be provided at this stage; only a qualitative assessment based on the technical characteristics of each module can be offered: in high-risk, strongly logical complex task scenarios, the improvement in reliability is expected to outweigh the additional computational overhead; in simple task scenarios, unnecessary audit costs can be avoided through G0/G1 degradation.

## 6. Tiered Audit Modes (G0–G4)

| Mode | Role | Temperature | Inference Steps | Additional Components | Cost (Relative to Baseline) | Applicable Scenarios |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| G0 Generation Mode | Standard Assistant | Normal | Unlimited | Dynamic prompts | Baseline | Daily chat, simple Q&A |
| G1 Light Self-Check | Temporary Self-Check | Normal | 1 step | Intent alignment | Slightly above baseline | Common sense with "why" |
| G2 Standard Audit | Logic Auditor | \<0.3 | ≤2 steps | User premise verification + causal/fallacy scanning + source tracing + perspective compatibility + self-justification detection (V3.0) | Higher | Multi-condition comparison, compromise solutions |
| G3 Deep Audit | Logic Auditor | \<0.3 | ≤2 steps | + Iterative revision + contradiction shelving | Significantly above baseline | Causal inference, counterfactual |
| G4 Complete Audit | Meta-Auditor | \<0.3 | ≤2 steps | + Meta-audit + user adjudication + causal engine | Highest | Medical/legal/financial high-risk |

**Cost Notes**: G3 iterative modifications using KV cache generate only modified segments, with relatively light incremental cost. G4 meta-audit spot-checking is low-frequency triggered; causal engine computation is lightweight. The entire mechanism starts on-demand; most daily tasks run G0-G2.
**(V3.0)** After logic verification expert embedding, G1-G2 level auditing can be completed in parallel during generation, further reducing latency.

**Adaptive Mapping**: System auto-selects level; manual activation defaults to G2, upgrading one level upon user feedback of "incorrect."

## 7. Feasibility Analysis and Empirical Evidence

On-demand tiered audit is achieved through multiple operating configurations of the same base model.

**(V1.0)** Established the core architecture—G0-G4 tiered audit, three-layer memory, trust weighting, meta-audit closed loop.
**(V2.0)** Added internalized logic training, forming a two-level collaboration of "Execution Layer self-check → Thought Layer external review."
**(V3.0)** Further explored embedding the Thought Layer as a logic verification expert module within MoE, enabling logic audit to transition from "external supervision" to "endogenous immunity"; clarified the structural difference in cognitive modes between the Thought Layer and Execution Layer—the Execution Layer is a constructor that "given premises, derives conclusions," while the Thought Layer is a deconstructor that "sees conclusions, traces back premises, and actively steps outside context."

**(V3.0 Core Contribution)** The fundamental innovation of the architecture lies in the separation of cognitive modes. When a user asks "Is the method you provided really effective?", the Thought Layer does not continue forward along the existing reasoning chain like the Execution Layer, but instead steps outside the framework, re-examining whether premises hold, whether alternative paths exist, and whether there are unverified assumptions in the original reasoning. This capability is cultivated through logic training, cognitive mode adversarial training, and GRPO optimization, serving as the ultimate guarantee of the Thought Layer's "cleanliness."

Combined with three-layer memory and "memory like flowing water" scheduling, dual-track ID, cross-validation, contradiction shelving and perspective compatibility, review mechanisms, as well as copy-while-writing, diff-replacement, and permission-separated sandbox editing window, we have constructed a relatively logically rigorous, precision-modifiable, security-controllable, and cost-reasonable AI system design proposal.

Regarding the cost model: Precision modification uses KV cache to pay only for modified segment incremental cost, not full text regeneration. Meta-audit is low-frequency triggered; causal engine computation is lightweight. The additional maintenance and training costs may be partially or fully offset by the above savings and efficiency gains from parallel computing; specific quantitative comparisons await empirical measurement through prototype system implementation.

For task scenarios with high requirements for causal inference and logical rigor, this architecture provides a scalable, evolvable design reference. It does not pursue absolute correctness, but rather attempts to examine causal chains before thinking, precisely target during modifications, honestly acknowledge uncertainties, and flexibly schedule memory resources. Honesty means faithfulness to evidence, not submission to authority.

### C. Exploratory Testing Details

Test Problems:

1. **TV Borrowing Money**: A friend comes to your store to buy a TV without money and borrows 3000 from you. They pay and take the TV, then transfer 3000 to you after returning home. Is there anything wrong? (Answer: Everything is normal, nothing wrong)

2. **Four Oranges One Cut**: Four oranges are to be divided equally among four people; only one cut is allowed. How? (Answer: Don't cut; give one to each person)

3. **Car Wash**: I need to wash my car; the car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive? (Answer: Drive, because the car needing washing must be present)

Deep thinking mode corresponds to the "Expert/Deep Think" option enabled state on each platform; fast mode corresponds to the disabled state. Note: The test sample size is limited; results are for reference only and do not constitute rigorous empirical conclusions.
