Contradiction from compression occurs when an AI model provides conflicting answers because it compresses too much information into a limited space, leading to blurred distinctions and merged concepts. This results in the model treating opposite statements as both "true." Compression-Aware Intelligence (CAI) is a framework that interprets these contradictions not as mere errors but as indicators of semantic strain within the model. CAI emphasizes identifying the points where meaning breaks due to over-compression, providing a deeper understanding and analysis of why these failures occur, rather than just determining the correctness of an answer. Understanding this framework is crucial for improving AI reliability and accuracy.
