Large Language Models (LLMs) often suffer from probabilistic hallucinations, presenting incorrect information with high confidence without a built-in mechanism for cognitive verification.

SCACA (Short-Term Computational Adaptive Cognitive Awareness) is a technical implementation of a 'Truthiness Check' for AI-generated content. Rather than accepting the first probabilistic output of an LLM, SCACA introduces a computational state of adaptive verification. 

It intercepts AI responses in the browser and forces a 'percolation' phase—a cognitive pause where the system cross-references and validates its own logic before presenting it to the user. This shifts the AI's behavior from simple next-token prediction to a more reflective, verifiable reasoning process.

### The Strategy

The goal of SCACA is to introduce a cognitive layer between the user and the raw output of the model. This is not about simple filtering, but about building a state machine that treats 'awareness' as a measurable computational resource dedicated to accuracy.

### Core Features

- **Truthiness Check:** A real-time validation layer that identifies and flags potential hallucinations in AI responses.
- **Percolation UI:** Visual indicators that reveal the AI's internal 'thinking' or verification cycles, providing transparency into the reasoning process.
- **Adaptive Rigor:** Dynamically adjusts the depth of verification based on the complexity and high-stakes nature of the user's query.
- **Agentic Awareness:** Implements a state-machine that treats 'awareness' as a measurable computational resource dedicated to accuracy.
- **Seamless Integration:** Works as a lightweight browser overlay for major AI chat platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).
