Re:Are LLM failures – including hallucination – structurally...

Quick clarification: RCC is not proposing a new architecture.
It’s a boundary argument — that some LLM failure modes may emerge from the geometric limits of embedded inference rather than from model-specific flaws.
The claim is simple:
if a system lacks (1) full introspective access, (2) visibility into its container manifold, and (3) a stable global reference frame, then hallucination and drift become mathematically natural outcomes.
I’m posting this to ask a narrow question:
if these axioms are wrong, which one — and why?
Not trying to make a grand prediction; just testing whether a boundary-theoretic framing is useful to ML researchers.
