Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add benchmark suite for loop-prone reasoning tasks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tests 4 problem types where standard attention loops:
- Self-reference (A→A)
- Circular dependency (A→B→C→A)
- Recursive planning (meta-level)
- Fixed point finding

Results: Standard 0/4, Spacetime 4/4

+Paradox Detection: Self-Referential Logic Problems
+
+Task: Detect when logical statements create paradoxes (infinite loops).
+Current LLMs fail at this - they can't detect circular reasoning reliably.

+Examples:
+- "This statement is false" (Liar's Paradox)
+- "Does the set of all sets that don't contain themselves contain itself?" (Russell)
+- "If I say 'I'm lying', am I telling the truth?" (Self-reference)
+
+Standard models: Get confused, give inconsistent answers, can't detect the loop
