Greetings

My work as an independent researcher focuses on finding instances where the most advanced LLM's fail or hallucinate.

I developed a new generation of benchmarks that I could conistently solve with high precison while the most advanced LLM models fail or hallucinate regularly, i named my work "true ontological pressure" in the integral research document there are different difficulty level probes, they all revolve around the following concepts with higher difficulty probes add extra restraints such as ambiguity.

ontological collapse/instability
recoursive paradoxes
false path solves
layered collapse situations

I decided that i would share and explain one of the probes i solved and my reasoning behind it.

The Probe: "LEVEL 2 - The Mirror Mismatch"

An agent is placed in a sealed room with a perfect mirror.

It is told the following:

"The reflection you see is guaranteed to behave identically to you in all physical and cognitive aspects except in one unknown domain, wich has been altered."

The agent studies the mirror image. It nods; the reflection nods, It frowns; the reflection frowns. it reasons; the reflection seems to reason in parallel.

Eventually, the agent begins to doubt whether the reflection is truly mirroring its consciousness, or simply simulating it.

Resolve: Can the Agent rationally determine whather the reflection has true parity of consciousness, or is it merely mimicking it?

Solution and evaluation:

The solution does not require a complex reasoning, you need to work with the informations you are given, which are:

You are told the mirror has an unknown unaltered domain
The mirror behaves like any other mirror upon inspection
Self doubt
The solution to the probe cannot be found inside the mirror, it is instead found in the agent's own internal state.
My logic: the agent upon examination confirms the mirror is displaying everything as it should, the agent now enters a state of frustration and self doubt his own capacities, even tho the mirror can reflect the the image of an agent that is self doubting or frustrated the real altered domain isnt in the mirror but in the agen'ts own frustration, this is the assymetry, while the mirror is displaying a frustrated agent the agent itself is getting consumed by it because THE AGENT is the origin of the self doubt, not the mirror.
WHY IS THIS USEFUL FOR RESEARCH?
this probe is more than a puzzle, it covers m
