MetaCheck
Recursive self-verification of reasoning
Definition
Mechanism
Reasoning Audit: Periodically pause object-level work. Evaluate: Am I making progress? Is my approach sound? Am I missing something obvious? Have my assumptions changed? Correct course or continue based on audit results. It triggers a recursive Reflexion cycle where the reasoning process itself becomes the object of critique. The checker Checks the checking process at a Meta level.
