This post was rejected for the following reason(s):

  • No LLM generated, heavily assisted/co-written, or otherwise reliant work. LessWrong has recently been inundated with new users submitting work where much of the content is the output of LLM(s). This work by-and-large does not meet our standards, and is rejected. This includes dialogs with LLMs that claim to demonstrate various properties about them, posts introducing some new concept and terminology that explains how LLMs work, often centered around recursiveness, emergence, sentience, consciousness, etc. Our LLM-generated content policy can be viewed here.

I’m an independent developer exploring whether a lightweight, open-source semantic reasoning kernel can significantly improve LLM alignment, robustness, and interpretability.

My system, WFGY (All Principles Return to One), wraps around existing language models and performs a “compress → validate → reconstruct” semantic cycle. In benchmarked tests, it yielded:

  • 🔹 +42.1% multi-step reasoning accuracy
  • 🔹 +22.4% semantic alignment improvements
  • 🔹 3.6× increase in stability under ambiguous or adversarial prompts

Rather than relying on model scaling or fine-tuning, WFGY offers a reproducible pipeline that:

  • Detects and corrects semantic drift
  • Maintains structural coherence under long-horizon reasoning
  • Is fully open-source, free, and requires no login or data collection
  • Includes peer-reviewable documents and test cases hosted on Zenodo

 

Disclosures & Research Context

(For transparency: I’m the creator of WFGY, and I’ve published related semantic-physics experiments using this approach. Here, I aim to explore its feasibility and theoretical foundations in the context of alignment.)

 

Core Question to Discussion

Is it viable to use a semantic compression-and-reconstruction layer as a plugin for alignment — serving both as an interpretability tool and a guard against logical inconsistency?
What are the theoretical limitations, and how might this integrate with existing paradigms like modular alignment checkpoints or interpretability pipelines?
