让大模型代理的决策可追溯、可验证,提升可信度。

Structured Cognitive Loop for Behavioral Intelligence in Large Language Model Agents (Extended Revision: From Behavioral Architecture to Epistemic Accountability)

  • 将认知、记忆、控制、执行分离为独立模块,增强行为可解释性。
  • 在360次任务中达成86.3%成功率,优于基线70.5%~76.8%。
  • 适合需要责任追溯与人类干预的高风险智能体应用。

AI代理的核心挑战不仅在于性能,更在于责任归属。通过不透明提示序列行动的代理可能输出正确结果,但难以验证为何允许某动作、错误发生在何处、责任如何划分。本文提出结构化认知循环(SCL)架构,实现大模型代理的可问责行为。SCL将认知、记忆、控制与执行分离为独立模块:语言模型负责提议,外部记忆保存已验证状态,轻量控制器检查前置条件、避免冗余操作,并在调用工具前授权执行。在旅行规划、条件邮件撰写和约束图像生成任务中,相较于ReAct及常见LangChain变体,SCL在360个实验周期内实现86.3%的任务成功率,显著高于基线的70.5%至76.8%。同时提升目标保真度,减少冗余工具调用,增加中间状态复用,降低无依据断言。本扩展版本将SCL置于更广泛的认识论问责体系中,后续延伸集成上下文感知的人类在环控制、池门控检索与展望承诺框架。这些组件共同构建一个代理架构:模型提出,结构决定,证据先行,人类判断嵌入过程而非事后强加。最终实现决策既有效又授权、可审查、可问责的智能体基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The central challenge for AI agents is not only performance but accountability. Agents that act through opaque prompt sequences may produce correct outputs, but they provide little basis for verifying why an action was permitted, where an error occurred, or how responsibility should be assigned. This paper presents the Structured Cognitive Loop as an architecture for accountable behavior in large language model agents. SCL separates cognition, memory, control, and action into distinct modules. The language model proposes. External memory preserves verified state. A lightweight controller checks preconditions, prevents redundant actions, and authorizes execution before tools are used. We evaluate SCL against ReAct and common LangChain agent variants across travel planning, conditional email drafting, and constraint guided image generation. Across 360 episodes, SCL achieves 86.3 percent task success compared with 70.5 to 76.8 percent for prompt based baselines. It also improves goal fidelity, reduces redundant tool calls, increases reuse of intermediate state, and lowers unsupported assertions. This extended revision situates SCL within a broader architecture of epistemic accountability. Subsequent extensions integrate context aware Human in the Loop control, Pool Gated Retrieval, and the Horizon Warrant Commitment framework. Together these components define an agent architecture in which the model proposes, structure decides, evidence is warranted before use, and human judgment is embedded in the trace rather than imposed after the fact. The result is a foundation for AI agents whose decisions are not only effective but also authorized, inspectable, and accountable.
