These failures are commonly labeled \"hallucinations,\" and are typically explained as data limitations, probabilistic errors, or imperfect alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book challenges that entire framing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cem\u003e Why Do AI Systems Hallucinate?\u003c\/em\u003e Chavan argues that hallucination is not an accidental flaw, but a structural outcome. When systems are designed to always produce output, maintain continuity, and avoid suspension under uncertainty, fabrication becomes a stable equilibrium-not an exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond intelligence and probability, the book introduces coherence as the central requirement for reliable systems. Through a systems-theory lens grounded in the Chavanian Axioms, it demonstrates why scaling, fine-tuning, and alignment techniques succeed locally but fail to resolve the underlying instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHallucination is reframed as a consequence of unresolved internal pressure-driven by delta propagation, residue accumulation, and failed dissipation. In such conditions, increasing capability does not eliminate error; it makes it more fluent and harder to detect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work does not propose new architectures or optimization tricks. Instead, it offers a diagnostic foundation. It identifies the structural conditions any non-hallucinating system must satisfy-and shows why current approaches fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor researchers, engineers, policymakers, and critical thinkers, this is not a guide to incremental fixes. It is a redefinition of the problem itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHallucination is not a bug to patch. It is a predictable expression of system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandeep Chavan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8199682302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788199682306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gyrus Vision\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.76d","brand":"Sandeep Chavan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874625270015,"sku":"9788199682306","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-do-ai-systems-hallucinate-sandeep-chavan-9788199682306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
