Entropy routing over competing interpretations — the model proposes, the deterministic core disposes. YOU generate the candidate readings of the user’s message (3–7 short hypotheses covering the plausible interpretations, INCLUDING likely-typo readings, idiom-vs-literal readings, and domain senses) and pass them as hypotheses, ideally with your own likelihoods (0–1 per reading) AND a paraphrase per reading — the user’s message rewritten unambiguously under that interpretation, so the user can VERIFY intent by recognition before anything commits (one misread prompt skews a whole thread). The router computes the posterior and its normalized entropy T̂ and returns the decision: commit (one reading dominates), commit_with_note (close alternative disclosed), present_options (several readings live), or clarify (ask before acting — open-endedly when nothing discriminates). Thresholds adapt to the user’s ReceiverProfile (AR widens/narrows the commit region; high FT discloses near-ties). This tool is the commit-vs-clarify AUTHORITY in the pipeline. Omitting hypotheses falls back to a generic six-intent PRODUCT-ROUTING starter set — do not use the fallback for interpreting arbitrary sentences. Deterministic, stateless, read-only.
