Show HN: Fixing AI's Core Flaws, A protocol cuts LLM token waste by 40–70%

WLM (Wujie Language Model), a protocol stack + world engine that rethinks AI from token prediction to structural intelligence. I built this to fix the problems we all deal with daily: hallucination, drift, uncontrollable behavior, black-box reasoning, unstructured knowledge, and chaotic world/agent generation.

The Pain We Can’t Keep Ignoring

Current LLMs/agents are token predictors, not intelligences. They suffer from:

• Hallucination: No grounded structure → guesses instead of knowing.

• Persona drift: Personality is prompt-hacked, not structural.

• Uncontrollable behavior: Sampling, not deterministic structure.

• Black-box reasoning: No traceable reasoning path.

• Knowledge soup: Embeddings/vectors, no formal structure.

• Fragile world models: Prediction, not interpretable structure.

• Random generation: No consistent causal/world rules.

We’ve patched these with RAG, fine-tuning, prompts, RLHF — but they’re band-aids on a foundational flaw: AI lacks structure.

How WLM Solves It

WLM is a 7-layer structural protocol stack that turns input into closed-loop structure: interpretation → reasoning → action → generation. It’s not a model — it’s a language + protocol + world engine.

The layers (all repos live now):

1. Structural Language Protocol (SLP) – Input → dimensional structure (foundation)

2. World Model Interpreter – World model outputs → interpretable structure

3. Agent Behavior Layer – Structure → stable, controllable agent runtime

4. Persona Engine – Structure → consistent, non-drifting characters

5. Knowledge Engine – Token soup → structured knowledge graphs

6. Metacognition Engine – Reasoning path → self-monitoring, anti-hallucination

7. World Generation Protocol (WGP) – Structure → worlds, physics, narratives, simulations

Together they form a structural loop:
Input → SLP → World Structure → Behavior → Persona → Knowledge → Metacognition → World Generation → repeat.

What This Changes

• No more hallucination: Reasoning is traced, checked, structural.

• No persona collapse: Identity is architecture, not prompts.

• Controllable agents: Behavior is structural, not sampling chaos.

• Explainable AI: Every output has a structural origin.

• True knowledge: Not embeddings — structured, navigable, verifiable.

• Worlds that persist: Generative worlds with rules, causality, topology.

Why This Matters

AI shouldn’t just predict tokens.
It should interpret, reason, act, and generate worlds — reliably, interpretably, structurally.

-----------------------------------

The protocol (minimal version)

[Task] What needs to be done.
[Structure] Atomic, verifiable steps.
[Constraints] Rules, limits, formats.
[Execution] Only required operations.
[Output] Minimal valid result.

That’s it.

Before / After

Without SLP

150–300 tokens
Inconsistent
Narrative-heavy
Hard to reproduce

With SLP

15–40 tokens
Deterministic
Structured
Easy to reproduce

---

Why this matters

• Token usage ↓ 40–70%
• Latency ↓ 20–50%
• Hallucination ↓ significantly
• Alignment becomes simpler
• Outputs become predictable

SLP doesn’t make models smarter.
It removes the noise that makes them dumb.
