Abstract
Constrained decoding is a state-of-the-art technique for restricting the output of a Large Language Model (LLM) to obey syntactic rules, e.g., a regular expression or context-free grammar.In this paper, we propose a method for extending constrained decoding beyond syntactic constraints, to enforcing formal, logical constraints that reflect some world model being reasoned about.We demonstrate proof-ofconcept implementations for the game of chess, and for propositional resolution proofs: we constrain the LLM's decoding such that the LLM is free to output whatever tokens it wants, as long as it does not make illegal moves (chess) or unsound proof steps (resolution).We believe this technique holds promise for improving LLMs' generation of precise, formal reasoning, as is particularly necessary for mathematics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
