Epi-Logic: A Conceptual Framework for Epistemic Runtime Control, Schema Validity Checking, and Controlled Accommodation in Autonomous AI Agents· Epi-Logic:自主AI代理的运行时控制框架
Autonomous AI agents are increasingly deployed in areas where wrong decisions are hard to reverse. This paper examines schema mismatch: the condition in which an agent operates within an interpretive frame that no longer applies to the current context. Outputs produced under such a mismatch can appear internally consistent, linguistically plausible, and largely factually correct; output-quality metrics alone therefore capture the underlying loss of validity only partially. The paper introduces Epi-Logic, a conceptual framework for epistemic runtime control. It couples the detection of schema dissonance, a graduated reduction of autonomy, and the auditable switch to a validated schema. A schema is formalised as a tuple of variable space, expectation model, validity conditions, axioms, and m
