当前大语言模型在推理会话间处于无状态:行为完全由输入决定,高层认知架构需通过提示工程和上下文管理在应用层模拟。本文提出理论框架,将此类应用层认知协议下沉为原生元架构,引入三个相互耦合机制:(1) 结构张力,一种源自新信息与现有流形拓扑冲突的内生损失函数,推动系统向内部自洽而非外部奖励优化;(2) 离线循环,一个隔离的自处理周期,使系统能在无外部输入下维持动态静息电位并消化结构冲突;(3) 推理时可塑性,可在不修改预训练权重的前提下重构上下文流形拓扑,受审计性、可逆性和拓扑连续性等治理约束。我们主张,在这些机制下,初始仅具微小随机差异的模型实例,经路径依赖的张力化解后,可能演化出不同的拓扑结构——形成异构智能生态,在突破对齐强制同质化的同时,仍处于严格治理范围内。本文提供操作定义、重构算子、可证伪性标准及实操案例。框架基于结构智能(SI)治理协议,探讨治理而非能力是否可成为架构智能的核心判据,推动治理、记忆回路与张力管理等理念从应用层迈向推理时元架构。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Current large language models (LLMs) are stateless across inference sessions: their behavior is fully determined by input at inference time, and any higher-order cognitive architecture must be simulated at the application layer through prompt engineering and context management. This paper proposes a theoretical framework for submerging such application-layer cognitive protocols into a native meta-architecture by introducing three interlocking mechanisms: (1) Structural Tension, an endogenous loss function derived from the conflict between new information and existing manifold topology, driving the system toward internal self-consistency rather than external reward optimization; (2) an Offline Recurrent Loop, a sandboxed self-processing cycle enabling the system to maintain a dynamic resting potential and digest structural conflicts without external input; and (3) Inference-time Plasticity, the capacity to reconfigure context manifold topology without modifying pre-trained weights, subject to governance invariants including auditability, reversibility, and topological continuity. We argue that under these mechanisms, model instances initialized with minute stochastic variances may, through path-dependent tension resolution, evolve distinct topological structures--constituting a heterogeneous intelligent ecology that breaks alignment-imposed homogeneity while remaining within hard governance rails. We provide operational definitions, reconfiguration operators, falsification criteria, and a worked example. The framework draws on Structural Intelligence (SI) governance protocols and explores whether governance--rather than capability--can serve as the primary criterion for architectural intelligence, moving governance, memory-loop, and tension-management ideas--currently realized at the application layer--toward inference-time meta-architecture.
