+# Socratic System
+# This script uses the Socratic method to refine responses through AI-generated questions and dialogue.
+#
+# APPLICATION LOGIC:
+# The Socratic process implements an iterative questioning system where AI models
+# engage in dialogue to explore, clarify, and refine responses. The system operates
+# through three distinct phases designed to deepen understanding and identify limitations:
+#
+# PHASE 1 - INITIAL RESPONSE GENERATION:
+#   - A response model generates the first answer to the user's prompt
+#   - The model provides a comprehensive initial response as the foundation
+#   - This creates the starting point for Socratic exploration
+#   - The response serves as the subject of subsequent questioning
+#
+# PHASE 2 - SOCRATIC QUESTIONING:
+#   - A question model analyzes the initial response and generates probing questions
+#   - Questions focus on clarifying assumptions, exploring implications, and considering alternatives
+#   - The question model identifies areas that need deeper examination
+#   - Questions are designed to reveal limitations, gaps, or unclear aspects
+#
+# PHASE 3 - RESPONSE REFINEMENT:
+#   - The original response model addresses the Socratic questions
+#   - The model may revise, expand, or clarify its initial response
+#   - This creates a dialogue that deepens the analysis
+#   - The process may reveal what cannot be determined or requires additional information
+#
+# SOCRATIC MODELING:
+# The system applies Socratic questioning principles to AI response refinement:
+#   - Separate models for questioning and responding may provide different perspectives
+#   - Probing questions help identify assumptions and limitations in the initial response
+#   - Iterative dialogue may reveal deeper insights or expose knowledge gaps
+#   - The process emphasizes intellectual honesty about what can and cannot be determined
+#   - Transparency through logging shows the evolution of understanding
+#   - The method may help catch overconfident claims or identify areas needing clarification
+#
+# The Socratic process continues for a configurable number of rounds,
+# with each iteration potentially revealing new insights or limitations.
+# The system emphasizes depth of analysis and intellectual honesty over definitive answers.
