SOSA-State: Formal State Model for Deterministic Execution in LLM Systems

This work formalizes the state model underlying the SOSA (System Operating Writing Assistant) framework. It defines the system as a deterministic finite-state machine governing text generation in Large Language Models through a fixed sequence of operational states: Position, Pre-Control, Generation, Validation, and Delivery. Each state is defined by explicit input, output, and transition constraints. The model enforces deterministic execution, prohibits branching and backward transitions, and introduces a controlled validation loop. This paper provides the formal execution backbone of the SOSA framework and establishes its mathematical and structural consistency.

Abstract

This work formalizes the state model underlying the SOSA (System Operating Writing Assistant) framework. It defines the system as a deterministic finite-state machine governing text generation in Large Language Models through a fixed sequence of operational states: Position, Pre-Control, Generation, Validation, and Delivery. Each state is defined by explicit input, output, and transition constraints. The model enforces deterministic execution, prohibits branching and backward transitions, and introduces a controlled validation loop. This paper provides the formal execution backbone of the SOSA framework and establishes its mathematical and structural consistency.
