Belief Injection for Epistemic Control in Linguistic State Space

2025-05-12 · Sebastian Dumbrava

This work introduces belief injection, a proactive epistemic control mechanism for artificial agents whose cognitive states are structured as dynamic ensembles of linguistic belief fragments. Grounded in the Semantic Manifold framework, belief injection directly incorporates targeted linguistic beliefs into an agent's internal cognitive state, influencing reasoning and alignment proactively rather than reactively. We delineate various injection strategies, such as direct, context-aware, goal-oriented, and reflective approaches, and contrast belief injection with related epistemic control mechanisms, notably belief filtering. Additionally, this work discusses practical applications, implementation considerations, ethical implications, and outlines promising directions for future research into cognitive governance using architecturally embedded belief injection.

Belief Filtering for Epistemic Control in Linguistic State Space

2025-05-08 · Sebastian Dumbrava

We examine belief filtering as a mechanism for the epistemic control of artificial agents, focusing on the regulation of internal cognitive states represented as linguistic expressions. This mechanism is developed within…

Accommodation and Epistemic Vigilance: A Pragmatic Account of Why LLMs Fail to Challenge Harmful Beliefs

2026-01-07 · Myra Cheng, Robert D. Hawkins, Dan Jurafsky arxiv

Large language models (LLMs) frequently fail to challenge users' harmful beliefs in domains ranging from medical advice to social reasoning. We argue that these failures can be understood and addressed pragmatically as c…

It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: Evaluating LLM Responses to Expressions of Belief

2026-07-20 · Kevin Du, Clara Kümpel, Michelle Wastl, Alex Warstadt arxiv

Users frequently express their beliefs to large language models (LLMs). In some situations, the LLM should accept these contextual beliefs as true. In others, they should stick to their prior knowledge. Notably, users' e…
