Axiomatic Criterion Atlas (ACA): Persistent Geometry-Based Semantic Navigation

Abstract (English) Large Language Models (LLMs) can maintain locally coherent language while progressively destabilizing the semantic orientation that originally constrained their reasoning process. Existing mitigation approaches rely heavily on probabilistic continuation, prompt engineering, or post-generation filtering, which often fail to distinguish between mere contextual coherence and the preservation of epistemic criterion. This work introduces the Axiomatic Criterion Atlas (ACA) Runtime: a geometry-based criterion supervision framework that models semantic reasoning as navigable evolution within a structured contextual topology. Rather than reconstructing the criterion through repeated natural language prompts, ACA externalizes it into a persistent geometric infrastructure composed of invariant orientation and contextual semantic fields. Experimental results demonstrate that semantically coherent trajectories can progressively lose epistemic orientation under rhetorical pressure, a vulnerability ACA mitigates through topology-aware runtime supervision. A comparative benchmark reveals that replacing prompt-heavy criterion preservation with ACA’s deterministic semantic orientation yields a runtime token reduction of 70.26%. These results suggest that reliable generative reasoning depends on preserving navigability through persistent semantic topology, proposing a fundamental transition from prompt-engineered control toward a reusable geometric criterion infrastructure.

Abstract

Abstract (English) Large Language Models (LLMs) can maintain locally coherent language while progressively destabilizing the semantic orientation that originally constrained their reasoning process. Existing mitigation approaches rely heavily on probabilistic continuation, prompt engineering, or post-generation filtering, which often fail to distinguish between mere contextual coherence and the preservation of epistemic criterion. This work introduces the Axiomatic Criterion Atlas (ACA) Runtime: a geometry-based criterion supervision framework that models semantic reasoning as navigable evolution within a structured contextual topology. Rather than reconstructing the criterion through repeated natural language prompts, ACA externalizes it into a persistent geometric infrastructure composed of invariant orientation and contextual semantic fields. Experimental results demonstrate that semantically coherent trajectories can progressively lose epistemic orientation under rhetorical pressure, a vulnerability ACA mitigates through topology-aware runtime supervision. A comparative benchmark reveals that replacing prompt-heavy criterion preservation with ACA’s deterministic semantic orientation yields a runtime token reduction of 70.26%. These results suggest that reliable generative reasoning depends on preserving navigability through persistent semantic topology, proposing a fundamental transition from prompt-engineered control toward a reusable geometric criterion infrastructure.
