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.
Scope of the finding
External validity is restricted by the 12 frozen problems, three domains, one solver model, one evaluator model, and single-shot procedure.
