Pattern-braking engine

You might say: error-correction loop, balancing review loop

A pattern-braking engine is the balancing loop that interrupts overconfidence: a candidate is calculated, a blunder or evaluation change is exposed by a check or tool, the position is explained, and the next test is adjusted. It protects the catalogue from turning repeated mistakes into false rules.

Ask

What evidence stops this pattern from being applied mechanically, and what new check will catch the same failure?
