When does this happen?

IF Multiple plausible reasoning paths emerge from a specific thought, requiring separate exploration.

How others solved it

THEN Use branchFromThought to specify the branching thought number and branchId to label each branch. Each branch can have its own sequence of thoughts with independent thoughtNumber/enumeration.

{
  "thought": "Let's explore alternative approach...",
  "nextThoughtNeeded": true,
  "thoughtNumber": 1,
  "totalThoughts": 4,
  "branchFromThought": 2,
  "branchId": "approach-b"
}
