AI Contradiction Detection

Contradiction Detection System — Patent Pending

• Every agent output compared against a Known Facts Registry before delivery
• Three contradiction types: Direct (exact negation), Semantic (same claim, different value), Temporal (time-ordered facts violated)
• Fail-closed on contradiction — output blocked, not flagged for later review
• Multi-agent cross-check — Agent A output checked against Agent B's prior output
• Contradiction evidence logged with: conflicting claim, source agent, fact hash, timestamp
• Human escalation pathway — blocked contradictions routed to human review queue
• Contradiction score — severity measured by number of conflicting facts
• Append-only detection log — every check, pass or block, permanently recorded
• Cross-references Execution Gate (P02) — contradiction check is a gate in the execution stack
• Cross-references Repeatability Lock (P06) — contradictions also trigger drift detection
