Grounded Continuation: A Linear-Time Runtime Verifier for LLM Conversations

Qisong He, Xiaowei Huang, Yi Dong

A runtime verifier builds a dependency graph from eight formal update operations to keep LLM continuations grounded on active premises.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

On LongMemEval-KU the verifier reaches 89.7% accuracy with linear per-turn cost and a formal conflict-free guarantee; on the 15-item stale-premise subset it reaches 100% accuracy.

C2weakest assumption

The LLM can be prompted to classify each conversation turn into one of the eight update operations drawn from dynamic epistemic logic, abductive reasoning, awareness logic, and argumentation with sufficient faithfulness for the dependency graph to remain accurate.

C3one line summary

A hybrid LLM-symbolic verifier maintains a dependency graph over conversation turns classified into eight formal update operations, enabling linear-time groundedness checks and precise retraction propagation with a conflict-free guarantee.
