Law 07 · Reasoning & Planning
Don't Bet on One Chain
Sample many reasoning paths and let them vote.
The principle
A single greedy chain of thought is fragile. Sample several independent reasoning paths and take the majority answer, and you get large, consistent gains. Correct reasoning tends to converge while mistakes scatter, so agreement across independently generated plans is a real signal worth trusting before you act on something that matters.
The mechanism, the warning signs, a worked example, and the apply-it recipe for this law are in the complete edition.
