Where Should Knowledge Enter? A Layered Framework for Knowledge Infusion in Multimodal Iterative Generative Model

Multimodal generative models produce fluent outputs but remain unreliable when generation must respect structured, domain-specific, or safety-critical knowledge. Existing methods incorporate knowledge through mechanisms such as prompt augmentation, guidance, latent editing, or fine-tuning, yet they are typically categorized by technique rather than by the component of the generative process they modify. We argue that knowledge infusion in iterative generative models is fundamentally anintervention-layer problem. Since thegenerative process unfolds as a trajectory of internal states, knowledge can act on four structurally distinct components of this process: the input/output boundary, the transition function, the intermediate state, and the model parameters. This maps to four intervention layers: surface, trajectory, latent, and parametric infusion. We instantiate the framework in diffusion models, map representative methods to all four layers, and derive design principles for multi-layer composition. In a controlled safety-alignment experiment using a multimodal knowledge graph with two diffusion backbones, we implement three of the four layers cumulatively, surface (input-side and output-side) and trajectory--latent (mid-generation). We show empirically that each additional layer addresses failure classes that prior layers cannot reach, reducing knowledge-violating outputs by 70.97% compared to vanilla generation and empirically confirming the framework's complementarity prediction.
