LogicGuard: A Structured Reasoning Audit and Executable Argumentation Model in AI-Assisted Writing

LogicGuard is a hierarchical executable argumentation model specifically designed for auditing and generating structured reasoning in AI-assisted writing. It does not judge the truthfulness of facts; instead, it verifies whether conclusions are structurally supported by their stated premises, bases, assumptions, evidence, rebuttals, and scope boundaries, providing a unique logical audit layer for quality assurance of AI-generated content.

Section 01

[Introduction] LogicGuard: A Structured Reasoning Audit Model for AI Writing

LogicGuard is a hierarchical executable argumentation model focused on structured reasoning audit in AI-assisted writing. It does not judge the truthfulness of facts; it only verifies whether conclusions are structurally supported by stated premises, bases, assumptions, etc., providing a logical audit layer for AI-generated content to enhance credibility and persuasiveness.

Section 02

Problem Background: Logical Dilemmas of AI-Generated Content

Large language models are widely used in writing assistance, but their internal logical structure issues are prominent. Traditional fact-checking only verifies the truthfulness of statements and cannot evaluate the completeness of argumentation structures (e.g., confusing correlation with causation, ignoring assumptions, etc.). AI writing is prone to structural problems such as unsubstantiated claims, fragile reasoning, and overextended scope—LogicGuard is designed to address these issues.

Section 03

Model Architecture: Hierarchical Argumentation Representation and Dialectical Framework

It adopts a dual representation method: hierarchical structure (capturing document organization from paragraphs to papers) + argumentation graph (describing logical relationships between elements). The core is a hierarchical weighted abstract dialectical framework, including 8 components. Node states (accepted/rejected/undecided) are separated from confidence levels, allowing detailed analysis of argumentation strength.

Section 04

Functional Scenarios: Applicable and Inapplicable Scopes

Applicable scenarios: Auditing the logical support of papers, identifying argumentation flaws, stress-testing the robustness of arguments, generating structured outputs. Inapplicable scenarios: Fact-checking, citation verification, theorem proving, high-fidelity simulation—clear scopes to avoid misuse.

Section 05

Diagnostic Capabilities: Detection of 18 Types of Reasoning Flaws

The first version includes diagnosis for 18 types of flaws, divided into three categories: structural defects (unsupported claims, overclaims, etc.), evidence issues (using context as evidence incorrectly, etc.), reasoning errors (circular reasoning, causal overclaims, etc.). Results include severity levels and repair suggestions.

Section 06

Simulation Tests and Application Examples

Simulation functions include vulnerability analysis, counterexample search, etc., to test the robustness of arguments. Application examples cover scenarios such as engineering efficiency, scientific causality, policy recommendations, etc., to verify the model's practicality.

Section 07

Technical Implementation and Future Directions

It supports installation via pip or module operation, providing CLI interfaces and Python APIs. Current limitations: Manual provision of argumentation descriptions is required, diagnosis is based on heuristics, etc. Future directions: Automatic structure extraction, integration of fact-checking, development of domain-specific rules, etc.
