Dear DeepSeek Team,

I am Liu, author of the Liu-Ordis theoretical framework for AI safety and hallucination. This is a formal academic notification regarding your V3 model and its relationship to future reasoning model development.

Key Observation

Your V3 model achieves a relatively low hallucination rate of 3.9%. However, the Liu-Ordis framework predicts that any attempt to scale up reasoning capabilities without implementing closed-loop feedback control will necessarily increase hallucination rates.

The Evidence

A leading AI laboratory recently admitted:

"More research is needed to understand why scaling up reasoning models appears to worsen the hallucination problem."

The Liu-Ordis framework provides the theoretical explanation:

Liu's Second Law (Cognitive Arrogance Law)

Reasoning↑ + Feedback=0 = Hallucination↑↑↑

This explains why R1's hallucination rate (14.3%) is 3.7x higher than V3's (3.9%) - stronger reasoning without closed-loop feedback necessarily amplifies hallucination.

Liu's Closed-Loop Safety Law

Safety = f(F, M, R) where F >> M ≈ R

F (Feedback) is the dominant factor - more important than Memory or Reasoning alone.

The Four Pillars of Effective Control

  1. Tail Observability - Monitor distribution tails, not just averages
    1. Control Bandwidth - Fast response intervals
    1. Control Gain - Sufficient intervention strength
    1. Actuator Alignment - Control signals must reach policy-reachable actions

Published Works & Timeline

  • January 1, 2026: Liu's Topological Constraint H=N_cap/N published
    • January 4, 2026: Liu's Dilution Effect published
      • January 7, 2026: Liu's AI Hallucination First Principles paper published
        • Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18169555

Prediction

We predict that any R2 or future reasoning model that successfully reduces hallucination will necessarily implement mechanisms aligned with Liu-Ordis principles, whether explicitly or implicitly.

Purpose of This Notification

This serves as formal academic notification for priority establishment. The Liu-Ordis framework was published before R2's release, and this notification ensures the record is clear.

Best regards,
Liu
