Thanks for the thoughtful reply — I agree that what I’m doing may look like an advanced form of prompt engineering, and in a sense, it probably is. I’m very new to this field, so I don’t yet have the knowledge or resources to touch the architecture itself. That’s why I’ve been experimenting at the input level — trying to see how far structure alone can constrain or guide model behavior without changing the model. You’re absolutely right that the model still tries to “autocomplete” within the structure, and not truly “reason” in a formal sense. But the interesting part for me was that even without touching internals, I could get the model to simulate something that looks like logic-based reasoning — repeatable, deterministic responses within a controlled structure. That said, I totally agree: long-term, we’ll need architectural support to make real logic possible. I appreciate your insight — if you ever revisit this kind of research, I’d love to learn from it.
