TL;DR

A conceptual protocol framework called Sincerity Echo is developed as a new paradigm in LLM alignment based on Cognitive Proportionality, which can differentiate propositional expansions, low risk lightweight queries, and adversarial contradictions through a tiered validation mechanism.

Abstract

The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has expanded the function of artificial intelligence from mere automation systems toward dialogue agents used across academic, professional, administrative, and creative activities. Alignment paradigms heavily reliant on reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) still face fundamental challenges including hallucination, sycophancy, overconfidence, and vulnerability to instructional manipulation. This article aims to develop a conceptual protocol framework called Sincerity Echo as a new paradigm in LLM alignment based on Cognitive Proportionality. The study employs a design science research approach with a conceptualprotocol development orientation. The model is developed through two layered validation mechanisms: the Macro Semantic Gatekeeper for semantic consistency checking and the Continuous Logic Decay Filter for propositional contradiction detection. Integration of semantic entropy and semantic uncertainty enables the system to detect potential hallucinations and adaptively manage belief calibration. Model development results show that Sincerity Echo can differentiate propositional expansions, low risk lightweight queries, and adversarial contradictions through a tiered validation mechanism. The FAST EXIT ROUTE mechanism on simple queries saves approximately 96.8% of computational resource allocation compared to deep reasoning pathways. The main contribution lies in shifting alignment from mere instructional compliance toward epistemic integrity, belief calibration, anti sycophancy, and response proportionality.

The Socratic Trap: Benchmarking the Capacity of Large Language Models to Generate Strategic Misconceptions in Computer Science Education

SocraticTrap-CS is introduced, a publicly available benchmark that probes the capacity of open-weight LLMs to generate strategic misconceptions on demand and reframes the evaluation of educational LLMs around pedagogical trustworthiness rather than factual correctness alone.

Language Model Council: A Multi-Agent Framework using Explainable AI

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly expanded the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence in language understanding, reasoning, and automated decision support. Despite these achievements, systems built around a single language model remain vulnerable to problems such as factual inaccuracies, hallucinated information, inconsistent outputs, limited explainability, and unintended bias. These shortcomings restrict their use in applications where decisions must be accurate, transparent, and accountable. This work introduces the Language Model Council (LMC), a collaborative framework that combines the expertise of multiple specialized AI agents to evaluate a user query from different perspectives. Their independent analyses are consolidated through a consensus-driven mechanism that selects the most reliable response. To further improve transparency, the framework integrates Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), providing confidence estimates together with concise reasoning summaries that clarify how the final decision was derived. Experimental evaluation indicates that the proposed approach outperforms traditional single-model systems by improving response quality, reducing hallucinations, and increasing user trust through enhanced explainability.
