Educational reasoning hygiene for _AugmentedIntelligence: offline heuristics always, optional deep LLM batteries, and a link into coping / body equilibrium when flag counts spike.

Modes

Mode	How	Cost
Fast (default)	ReasoningHeuristic.hpp pattern detectors	No LLM
Deep	fallacy on / bias on then check/audit, or reasoning audit deep	Many LLM calls

FallacyCheck / BiasCheck always run heuristics first. Deep detectors run only when enabled or forced.

Equilibrium link

When an audit finds multiple flags:

Flag count	Regulation
≥ 2	Coping::OnStressSignal
≥ 3	setpoint → calm-alert
≥ 5	setpoint → restorative + stronger stress signal

This is the “reasoning body returns toward equilibrium” path: treat flawed argumentation as an error signal, not only a label dump.

Files

Path	Role
ReasoningHeuristic.hpp	Offline detectors
Fallacy.cpp / Bias.cpp	*CheckFast + gated deep batteries
ReasoningAudit.*	Unified audit, explains, coping, equilibrium
ReasoningIntegration.*	LLM shield / automation hooks
reasonkit plugin	Plugin SDK façade

Self-test

[text]
reasoning selftest

Expects heuristic hits on dilemma/slope and confirmation/automation examples.

Notes

• Pattern flags are suggestive, not verdicts. Prefer human review for high-stakes text.
• Ethics / listening / safety callers now get heuristic hits without enabling deep mode (cheap, always-on hygiene).
• Deep mode remains off at startup so boot and continuous listening do not fire serial LLM batteries.
