Meaning of the reasoning tokens

Thanks for the nice model release! The special reasoning tokens seem really interesting. Finally something better than "Wait, ...".
I was looking into the use of these reasoning tokens and I think most are strait-forward, except the ⟨H≈X.X⟩ and ↺. So I wanted to check what the intended meaning was. Sadly this was undocumented in the readme.
This is what I figured out:
| Token | Function | Example from traces |
|---|---|---|
→ |
Logical implication or derivation step | "Concert halls grew larger → Original instruments couldn't compete" |
↺ |
Iterative refinement? | "Back to specifics ↺:" ; "further undermines trust → ↺" |
※ |
Critical insights or questions | "※ Key question: equitable tolling vs US immunity" |
?maybe? |
Speculation? | "Exception cases? ?maybe? Ion pairs in solution..." |
● |
High confidence: well-established facts, strong empirical evidence | "Hummingbird-Heliconia coevolution ● well-documented" |
◐ |
Medium/partial confidence: incomplete knowledge, tentative claims | "Information completeness: ◐ Missing: specific statistical data" |
○ |
Low confidence: weak knowledge, missing information, speculative claims | "○ Exact reasoning details: covered general framework" |
⚠ |
Identifies biases, problematic assumptions, ambiguities | "Response assumes long jump. ⚠ Domain specificity issue." |
☐ |
Unverified hypothesis or pending verification step | "☐ → ☑ 'Whorfianism of the third kind'" (before verification) |
☑ |
Verified claim or completed verification step | "☐ → ☑ Strong theoretical grounding in linguistic relativity" |
✓ |
Validation, confirmation | "Logical consistency check: ✓ Multiple independent factors converge" |
∴ |
Therefore | "∴ Simple factual verification with supporting context." |
⟨H≈X.X⟩ |
Hallucination? Or hypothesis strength? (0.1-1.8) | "⟨H≈0.8⟩ Island biogeography principles... empty niches..." |
Thanks for opening this. Readme now integrates a presentation of special reasoning tokens.
