A symmetry-based framework built 550 conflict instances across 11 function families and four representation types with explicit built-in contradictions. Resolution is systematic, not random, with a consistent ordering: Formal ≈ Naturalized Formal > Pure Natural Language > Input-Output Examples. If you're stacking system prompts, tool schemas, and few-shot examples that might disagree, your few-shot examples are losing.
