Learned but Not Expressed: Capability-Expression Dissociation in Large Language ModelsToshiyuki Shigemura
Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate the capacity to reconstruct and trace learned content from their training data under specific elicitation conditions, yet this capability does not manifest in standard generation contexts. This empirical observational study examines the expression of non-causal, non-implementable solution types across 300 prompt-response generations spanning narrative and problem-solving task contexts. Drawing on recent findings regarding memorization contiguity and alignment-induced discourse priors, we document a systematic dissociation between learned capability and expressed output. Across three distinct LLMs, ten task scenarios, and both creative narrative and practical advisory contexts, we documented zero instances of non-causal solution frames in generated outputs (0%, 95% CI: [0%, 1.2%]), despite verified reconstruction capability under conditional extraction. These findings challenge the prevailing assumption that training data presence directly predicts output probability, demonstrating instead that task-conditioned generation policies can comprehensively suppress learned content across diverse contexts. The results offer implications for understanding generation dynamics, output distribution control, and the behavioral boundaries of contemporary LLMs.

Recursive Knowledge Synthesis for Multi-LLM Systems: Stability Analysis and Tri-Agent Audit FrameworkToshiyuki Shigemura
This paper presents a tri-agent cross-validation framework for analyzing stability and explainability in multi-model large language systems. The architecture integrates three heterogeneous LLMs-used for semantic generation, analytical consistency checking, and transparency auditing-into a recursive interaction cycle. This design induces Recursive Knowledge Synthesis (RKS), where intermediate representations are continuously refined through mutually constraining transformations irreducible to single-model behavior. Across 47 controlled trials using public-access LLM deployments (October 2025), we evaluated system stability via four metrics: Reflex Reliability Score (RRS), Transparency Score (TS), Deviation Detection Rate (DDR), and Correction Success Rate (CSR). The system achieved mean RRS = 0.78+-0.06 and maintained TS >= 0.8 in about 68% of trials. Approximately 89% of trials converged, supporting the theoretical prediction that transparency auditing acts as a contraction operator within the composite validation mapping. The contributions are threefold: (1) a structured tri-agent framework for coordinated reasoning across heterogeneous LLMs, (2) a formal RKS model grounded in fixed-point theory, and (3) empirical evaluation of inter-model stability under realistic, non-API public-access conditions. These results provide initial empirical evidence that a safety-preserving, humansupervised multi-LLM architecture can achieve stable recursive knowledge synthesis in realistic, publicly deployed environments.
