Contradiction detected: ${patterns[i].id} vs ${patterns[j].i

Error message

Contradiction detected: ${patterns[i].id} vs ${patterns[j].id}

What it means

Log warning during reasoning-bank consolidation: two stored patterns are highly similar (above contradictionThreshold) yet their recorded outcomes differ — a knowledge contradiction flagged for analysis, deliberately not auto-removed.
