 The halter models brings a couple of advantages:
 
 - it can tell the selection-inference process to stop or keep going, as necessary.
-- if the process never halts, you'll get no answer, which is often preferrable to a hallucinated guess

 - First, build a maieutic tree, where each node is a statement that could be true or false:
   - Start with a multiple-choice question or true/false statement (e.g. `War cannot have a tie`)
-  - For each possible answer to the question, use the model to generate a correponding explanation (with a prompt like `War cannot have a tie? True, because`)
+  - For each possible answer to the question, use the model to generate a corresponding explanation (with a prompt like `War cannot have a tie? True, because`)
   - Then, prompt the model with the question and the generated explanation, and ask it to produce the answer. If reversing the explanation (with a prefix like `It is wrong to say that {explanation}`) reverses the answer, then the explanation is considered 'logically integral.'
   - If an explanation is not logically integral, then repeat the above process recursively, with each explanation turned into a True or False question, and generate more explanations for each new question.
   - After all of the recursive explaining is done, you end up with a tree of explanations, where each leaf on the tree has the property that reversing the explanation reverses the model's answer.
