Key points

  • The merge operator takes two different reasoning paths that share the same starting point and merges their unique suffixes, allowing the model to synthesize successful components from multiple attempts.
  • Deletion removes a single internal step from a trajectory, which helps simplify reasoning or eliminate redundant filler steps that can send the model in the wrong direction.
  • Transposition replaces one step in a trajectory with a step from another trajectory, similar to swapping out a piece of logic to see whether a different approach fits the same context better.
