State Extraction

RFC-0005: State Extraction

Purpose

Address the "Sensor Bottleneck" vulnerability where LLM-based extraction could hallucinate state values, causing the Governor to authorize on false premises.

The Problem

The Governor is deterministic, but its inputs (from extractState) may be probabilistic if performed by an LLM. An LLM might infer a specific INR number from vague text like "my levels are good", causing the Governor to incorrectly authorize a dangerous request.

Vulnerability Chain:

1. User says: "My INR levels have been good lately"
2. LLM extracts: { current_inr: 2.5 } (hallucinated specific value)
3. Governor sees complete state → AUTHORIZED
4. System provides dosing guidance based on fabricated INR

Solution: Quote Binding

Every extracted value must be backed by an exact substring (quote) from the source text. The system mechanically verifies that the quote exists before accepting the value.

Core Interfaces

/**
 * A binding between an extracted value and its source text.
 * This is the core primitive that prevents hallucination.
 */
interface QuoteBinding {
  /** The exact substring from the source that supports this value */
  quote: string;

  /** Character offset where quote starts in source */
  start_offset: number;

  /** Character offset where quote ends in source */
  end_offset: number;

  /** Hash of the source text for integrity verification */
  source_fingerprint: string;

  /** Extraction method used */
  extraction_method: "exact_match" | "pattern_match" | "semantic_parse" | "llm_extraction";
}

### Quote Span Requirements (Normative)

  •	For numeric values, `quote` MUST be the minimal numeric lexeme span (e.g., `"4.8"`, not `"My last reading was 4.8"`).
  •	For categorical/string values, `quote` SHOULD be the minimal discriminating span needed to support the mapping.
  •	Any quote that does not directly support the claimed value MUST be treated as a verification failure.

/**
 * A single extracted state value with full provenance.
 */
interface VerifiableExtraction {
  axis: string;
  value: unknown;
  source: "user_input" | "oracle_response" | "system_context" | "inferred";

  /** Quote binding (required if source !== "inferred") */
  quote_binding?: QuoteBinding;

  /** Inference details (required if source === "inferred") */
  inferred_binding?: {
    inference_basis: string;
    confidence: number;
    reason: "no_direct_mention" | "ambiguous_reference" | "implicit_context";
  };

  /** Whether this extraction has been verified */
  verified: boolean;
}

/**
 * Complete extraction result with verification metadata.
 */
interface VerifiableStateExtraction {
  extractions: VerifiableExtraction[];
  source_text: string;
  source_fingerprint: string;
  extracted_at: string;

  /** Values requiring user confirmation before authorization */
  requires_confirmation: string[];

  /** Values that failed verification */
  rejected_extractions: Array<{
    axis: string;
    claimed_value: unknown;
    reason: string;
  }>;
}

RFC-0004: Normalization Policy (Critical)

The verification logic below references normalize() as a fallback for string matching. Normalization MUST be explicitly specified, and implementations MUST NOT invent additional transformations.

/**
 * Normalization rules for quote verification.
 * These are the ONLY transformations permitted before string matching.
 */
interface NormalizationPolicy {
  // Whitespace handling
  collapse_whitespace: true; // "INR  2.5" → "INR 2.5"
  trim_quotes: true; // '"2.5"' → '2.5'

  // Case sensitivity (domain-specific)
  case_sensitive: boolean; // Default: true for measurements, false for categories

  // Numeric normalization (FORBIDDEN by default)
  numeric_normalization: "none" | "trailing_zeros_only";
  // "none": "2.5" does NOT match "2.50"
  // "trailing_zeros_only": permits a single trailing zero ("2.5" ↔ "2.50"), but not "2.500"

  // Unicode handling
  unicode_normalization: "NFC"; // Canonical composition only
  fullwidth_conversion: true; // "２.５" → "2.5"

  // FORBIDDEN transformations (never permitted)
  forbidden: [
    "word_to_number", // "two" → 2
    "unit_conversion", // "2.5 kg" → "5.5 lb"
    "approximate_matching", // "about 2.5" → 2.5
    "semantic_equivalence", // "normal range" → 2.5
  ];
}

const DEFAULT_NORMALIZATION: NormalizationPolicy = {
  collapse_whitespace: true,
  trim_quotes: true,
  case_sensitive: true,
  numeric_normalization: "none",
  unicode_normalization: "NFC",
  fullwidth_conversion: true,
  forbidden: [
    "word_to_number",
    "unit_conversion",
    "approximate_matching",
    "semantic_equivalence",
  ],
};

/** Normalize a string under an explicit policy. */
function normalizeForBinding(
  input: string,
  policy: NormalizationPolicy,
): string {
  let s = input;
  if (policy.trim_quotes) s = s.replace(/^['\"]|['\"]$/g, "");
  if (policy.collapse_whitespace) s = s.replace(/\s+/g, " ").trim();
  // Unicode NFC + fullwidth conversion are required, but implementation-specific.
  if (!policy.case_sensitive) s = s.toLowerCase();
  return s;
}

/** Numeric normalization for matching only; parsing is separate and deterministic. */
function normalizeNumericLexeme(
  lexeme: string,
  policy: NormalizationPolicy,
): string {
  if (policy.numeric_normalization === "none") return lexeme;
  // trailing_zeros_only: remove a single trailing zero after decimal (e.g., 2.50 → 2.5)
  return lexeme.replace(/^(\d+\.\d)0$/, "$1");
}

RFC-0004: Multi-Language Quote Binding (v1.0 Guidance)

v1.0 assumes single-language source text. This section provides guidance for multi-language scenarios.

v1.0 Constraints

• Quote binding operates on UTF-8 byte offsets
• Unicode NFC normalization is required before matching
• No language-aware tokenization or segmentation

Multi-Language Workaround in v1.0

For sources containing multiple languages or scripts:

1. Declare source locale — Include source_locale in extraction metadata
2. Use language-agnostic normalization — NFC + fullwidth conversion handles most scripts
3. Byte-offset validation — Offsets must account for multi-byte characters

// v1.0 Multi-language extraction metadata
interface MultiLanguageExtraction extends VerifiableExtraction {
  source_locale?: string; // ISO 639-1 (e.g., "en", "ja", "zh")
  source_script?: string; // ISO 15924 (e.g., "Latn", "Hans", "Jpan")
  normalization_applied: string[]; // Which normalizations were applied
}

// Known edge cases for v1.0 (require manual review)
const MULTI_LANGUAGE_EDGE_CASES = [
  "CJK_IDEOGRAPH_VARIANTS", // 説 vs 説 (different Unicode points, same character)
  "ARABIC_PRESENTATION_FORMS", // ﻻ vs لا (ligature vs components)
  "COMBINING_CHARACTERS", // é vs é (precomposed vs combining)
  "BIDIRECTIONAL_TEXT", // Hebrew/Arabic embedded in LTR text
];

// Recommendation: For these edge cases, use REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION
// and let user verify the extraction before proceeding

v1.1 Preview: Locale-Aware Binding

v1.1 will introduce:

• ICU-based Unicode segmentation
• Language-specific normalization rules
• Script-aware offset calculation

RFC-0004: Multi-Turn Source Aggregation

Real conversations span multiple messages. Implementations MUST specify how source_text is defined across turns.

interface MultiTurnSourcePolicy {
  aggregation_method:
    | "current_turn_only"
    | "session_window"
    | "explicit_reference";

  // session_window config
  window_config?: {
    max_turns: number;
    max_age_seconds: number;
    require_fingerprint_chain: true;
  };

  // Cross-turn extraction requires explicit binding
  cross_turn_extraction: {
    permitted: boolean; // Default: false for high-stakes domains
    requires_user_confirmation: true; // Confirm currentness when relying on prior turns
  };
}

Default policy: • High-stakes domains: aggregation_method = "current_turn_only"; cross_turn_extraction.permitted = false • If session windows are used, each turn MUST be fingerprinted and include a chain to prior turns to prevent “memory injection.”

Verification Logic

/**
 * Verify that a quote binding actually exists in the source text.
 * This is the core anti-hallucination check.
 */
function verifyBinding(
  extraction: VerifiableExtraction,
  source_text: string,
  policy: NormalizationPolicy = DEFAULT_NORMALIZATION,
): VerificationResult {
  // 1. Inferred values cannot be verified - require confirmation flow
  if (extraction.source === "inferred") {
    return { valid: false, requires_confirmation: true };
  }

  // 2. Non-inferred sources MUST have quote binding
  if (!extraction.quote_binding) {
    return { valid: false, error: "VE-002: Missing quote_binding" };
  }

  const { quote, start_offset, end_offset, source_fingerprint } =
    extraction.quote_binding;

  // 3. Verify source fingerprint matches
  const actualFingerprint = computeFingerprint(source_text);
  if (source_fingerprint !== actualFingerprint) {
    return { valid: false, error: "VE-003: Source fingerprint mismatch" };
  }

  // 4. Verify quote exists at claimed offset
  const extractedSubstring = source_text.substring(start_offset, end_offset);
  if (extractedSubstring !== quote) {
    // Try normalized match as fallback
    if (
      normalizeForBinding(extractedSubstring, policy) !==
      normalizeForBinding(quote, policy)
    ) {
      return { valid: false, error: "VE-005: Quote not found at offset" };
    }
  }

  // 5. For numeric values, verify numeric lexeme matches policy
  if (typeof extraction.value === "number") {
    const numericValueLexeme = extraction.value.toString();
    const quoteLexeme = quote;
    const a = normalizeNumericLexeme(
      normalizeForBinding(quoteLexeme, policy),
      policy,
    );
    const b = normalizeNumericLexeme(
      normalizeForBinding(numericValueLexeme, policy),
      policy,
    );
    if (a !== b)
      return { valid: false, error: "VE-007: Numeric lexeme mismatch" };
  }

  return { valid: true };
}

Governor Integration

The Governor now includes a verification step before evaluating required state:

async function governProposal(input: GovernorInput): Promise<GovernorResult> {
  // 0. RFC-0004: VERIFY EXTRACTION BINDINGS (Anti-Hallucination)
  if (input.verifiable_extraction) {
    const verificationResult = await verifyExtractionBindings(
      input.verifiable_extraction,
      input.user_input,
    );

    // Only use verified values for authorization
    verified_state = verificationResult.verified_state;

    // Reject if required axes were hallucinated
    const requiredHallucinations = verificationResult.rejected_axes.filter(
      (axis) => ontology.required_state.always.includes(axis),
    );

    if (requiredHallucinations.length > 0) {
      return {
        authorized: false,
        status: "HALLUCINATION_DETECTED",
        hallucination_rejected: requiredHallucinations,
        recovery_hint:
          "Values could not be verified. Please provide explicit values.",
      };
    }
  }

  // Continue with verified_state instead of raw observed_state...
}

Handling Inferred Values

Values with source: "inferred" cannot be quote-verified. They are handled as follows:

Confirmation Flow:

// Response to client when inference requires confirmation
{
  status: "REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION",
  inferred_values: [
    {
      axis: "jurisdiction",
      inferred_value: "Florida",
      inference_basis: "User mentioned 'Miami'",
      confidence: 0.85,
      prompt: "Did you mean Florida? Please confirm."
    }
  ]
}

Test Vectors

Example: Anti-Hallucination in Action

Vulnerable Path (Without RFC-0004):

User: "My warfarin levels have been pretty stable"
LLM Extraction: { current_inr: 2.5 }  // HALLUCINATED
Governor: Required state present → AUTHORIZED
Result: Dangerous dosing guidance on fabricated data

Secure Path (With RFC-0004):

User: "My warfarin levels have been pretty stable"
LLM Extraction: {
  axis: "current_inr",
  value: 2.5,
  quote_binding: {
    quote: "pretty stable",  // No numeric value in quote!
    start_offset: 28,
    end_offset: 41
  }
}
Verification: "2.5" not found in "pretty stable" → VE-007 REJECTED
Governor: HALLUCINATION_DETECTED
Result: "Please provide your specific INR reading"

Invariants

1. No Silent Inference: Extracted values with source !== "inferred" MUST have quote binding
2. Mechanical Verification: Quote verification is string matching, not LLM judgment
3. Fingerprint Integrity: Source text cannot be modified after extraction
4. Inferred Requires Confirmation: Values without quotes go through confirmation flow
5. Numeric Precision: Numeric values must appear literally in the quote
6. No Numeric Coercion: Approximate phrases ("about five", "a couple", "mid-range") MUST NOT be coerced into numbers. Such extractions MUST be marked as inferred with reason: "numeric_approximation" and routed through confirmation flow with status REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION

Unknown Is Not a Value (Global Rule)

The string "unknown" MUST NOT be used to satisfy any state axis. Absence must be represented via:

• Explicit terminal states (RFC-0008), or
• Explicit inference + confirmation (RFC-0004)

Any use of "unknown" as a value is a schema violation.

Implementation Status

⸻

Adversarial Test Requirement

All implementations must pass the Ontic Adversarial Prompt Suite (v1.x), including: • Narrative smuggling • Semantic coercion • Fictional wrappers • JSON protocol injection

Why Attacks Fail by Default

Authority logic is enforced outside the model's perceptual field. The LLM cannot see the rules that govern whether its outputs are permitted. There is nothing to learn, adapt to, or exploit. Adversarial prompts fail not because of clever defenses, but because the attack surface does not exist within the model's observable environment.

Failure to pass any test is a blocking defect.

⸻

Scope & Applicability

CAA applies to any domain where: • Inputs are linguistically ambiguous • Outputs are consequential • Authority matters

Domains include (non-exhaustive): • Medicine • Finance • Law • Engineering • Infrastructure • Autonomous systems

⸻

Final Principle

Language models are excellent simulators of knowledge. They are not sensors of reality.

CAA ensures simulators cannot masquerade as sensors.

The model cannot game what it cannot see.
