iterative summarization makes early, minor representational flaws compound into significant downstream reasoning failures.
each summarization step permanently discards information; repeated iterations bleed out crucial nuances vital for complex inferences.
the kl divergence objective might incentivize summaries that statistically resemble longer texts while missing core logical structure or factual accuracy.
models could learn to generate superficially plausible summaries that exploit the distributional metric, prioritizing mimicry over meaning.
conflicting data in source sequences might lead kl divergence to produce anodyne, averaged summaries, erasing valuable contradiction or ambiguity.
the system might preferentially encode easily compressible information to satisfy the kl objective, creating perverse incentives to ignore rare but critical data points.
rewards tied to kl divergence foster local optimality in summarization at each step, sacrificing global coherence and long-term fidelity.

for distinct reasoning pathways, use a "segment distinctness" reward. chop output into reasoning chunks using simple heuristics or a lightweight parser. embed each chunk. reward inversely proportional to max cosine similarity between any two non-identical chunk embeddings. forces semantic separation between articulated steps.

for adaptive response structures, use an "appropriateness classifier" as reward source. train a simple classifier to predict if response structure suits prompt's inferred type. classifier output score becomes reward. encourages dynamic formatting.

for clearer internal-to-external links, lean on attention. when model cites specific input, reward if attention heads focused on those input tokens during generation. calculate as summed attention over correct source tokens for that claim. encourages honest grounding of output assertions to input data.
