Layer 1: Metadata & Description

• Description: Ensures the identified entity is the primary subject of the query, preventing misidentification by fixating on related or contextually prominent entities.

Layer 2: Guidelines

General Guidelines

• Always confirm the identity of the primary entity being sought.
• Distinguish between the target entity and entities mentioned in its descriptive attributes.
• Avoid selecting entities that are only indirectly related or are components of a descriptive constraint.
• Ensure all constraints are applied to their correct entity in the relational chain.
• Validate that the final answer directly addresses the question's core subject.

Specific Guidelines

• For questions involving 'an individual' or 'a person,' ensure the final answer is that specific individual, not someone they interacted with.
• When a constraint describes an action performed by a related entity (e.g., 'wife presented an award'), ensure the primary entity is identified, not the recipient of the award.
• Explicitly diagram or trace the subject-predicate-object relationships to confirm the primary subject.
• If a constraint involves a nested entity (e.g., 'city crucial to character by author'), ensure the primary entity's attribute (birth city) is correctly linked, not the character or author.
• Confirm that the final entity satisfies the most direct constraints before evaluating complex relational ones.

Layer 3: Context

• Problem Pattern: Misidentifying the primary target entity by fixating on a prominent, but relationally secondary, entity described within a complex, multi-hop constraint.
• State Signature: The output entity satisfies some constraints but is not the main subject of the query; instead, it is a related entity or an entity mentioned within a relational attribute of the true subject.
• Bypass Strategy:
  1. Explicitly identify the primary entity type requested by the question.
  2. Map all constraints to either the primary entity or its directly related entities.
  3. Prioritize satisfying all constraints directly attributed to the primary entity.
  4. Verify that the final candidate is the primary entity, not a related one.
