Structured Representation and Epistemic Integrity in AI Reasoning
A controlled prompt-scaffold ablation separates evaluator-rated epistemic integrity from solution quality and novelty.
Reports IIE-009/010: structured representation improved evaluator-rated Epistemic Integrity across twelve paired problems, while solution-quality, incremental transformation, and novelty advantages were not established.
External validity is restricted by the 12 frozen problems, three domains, one solver model, one evaluator model, and single-shot procedure.
