arXiv:2610.40036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models handle text well, and rule engines give conclusions with proofs. Systems that combine the two are usually described by example, and the same coupling turns up under different names in agent frameworks, guardrail toolkits and neuro-symbolic research.
