State Representation and Termination for Recursive Reasoning Systems

ArXi:2605.06690v1 Announce Type: new Recursive reasoning systems alternate between acquiring new evidence and refining an accumulated understanding. Two design choices are typically left implicit: how to represent the evolving reasoning state, and when to stop iterating. This paper addresses both. We represent the reasoning state as an epistemic state graph encoding extracted claims, evidential relations, open questions, and confidence weights.
