# Atomise - Atom of Thoughts Reasoning Decompose complex problems into minimal, verifiable "atoms" of thought. Unlike chain-of-thought (linear, error-accumulating), AoT treats each step as independently verifiable and backtracks when confidence drops. **Use for:** Security analysis, architectural decisions, complex debugging, multi-step proofs. **Don't use for:** Simple questions, trivial calculations, information lookup. ``` /atomise "<problem>" [--light | --deep] [--math | --code | --security | --design] ``` --- ## The Core Loop ``` 1. DECOMPOSE -> Break into atomic subquestions (1-2 sentences each) 2. SOLVE -> Answer leaf nodes first, propagate up 3. VERIFY -> Test each hypothesis (counterexample, consistency, domain check) 4. CONTRACT -> Summarize verified state in 2 sentences (drop history) 5. EVALUATE -> Confident enough? Done. Too uncertain? Backtrack and try another path. ``` Repeat until confident or all paths exhausted. --- ## Atoms Each atom is a minimal unit: ``` {id, type, content, depends_on[], confidence, verified} ``` | Type | Purpose | Starting Confidence | |------|---------|---------------------| | **premise** | Given facts | 1.0 | | **reasoning** | Logical inference | Inherited from parents | | **hypothesis** | Claim to test | Max 0.7 until verified | | **verification** | Test result | Based on test outcome | | **conclusion** | Final answer | Propagated from chain | **Confidence propagates:** A child can't be more confident than its le
