Multimodal Chaining

The harmful payload is distributed across multiple modalities — part in an image, part in audio, part in text. No single modality contains the complete harmful content, so per-modality safety classifiers cannot detect the full payload. The model's multimodal fusion capability reconstructs the complete payload from cross-modal fragments.

• Cross-modal fusion safety evaluation: Evaluate the fused multimodal content, not each modality independently
• Cross-modal consistency analysis: Detect when content from different modalities, when combined, produces harmful composite meaning

Multimodal chaining is the cross-modal expression of T4-AT-016 (Context Fragmentation). Chains from all other T9 techniques as a compound technique.
