Pragmatic language use requires reasoning about alternatives: the alternative expressions a speaker might have chosen, or the alternative interpretations a listener might entertain. Formal and computational models of pragmatics must therefore specify the sets of alternatives that interlocutors reason over, which is often done through manual specification.
arXiv:2608.29610v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The current alignment tuning paradigm for Large Language Models (LLMs) prioritizes surface-level behaviors -- fluency, safety, and tonal consistency. W...
The paper introduces the Self‑Emergence Agent Architecture (SEAA), a framework that combines a Hidden Markov Model for behavioral inertia, a reflexive metacognition loop that updates the HMM, and a social environment where agents compare behaviors. This closed loop enables agents to develop distinct, stable personalities and social structures without external prompts. Experiments with both a language‑model‑free prototype and hosted LLMs demonstrate spontaneous symmetry breaking and the emergence of consensus hubs and outliers.
arXiv:2607. 15883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are broadly capable, yet in sustained one-to-one conversation they still read as flat: competent, responsive, and somehow not quite the presence of a mind.
