Theoria: Rewrite-Acceptability Verification over Informal Reasoning States

AnnouncementResearchJul 10, 2026

Michael Saldivar and Ben Slivinski present Theoria, a verification architecture that rewrites candidate solutions into typed state transitions with explicit justifications, enabling independent auditability. On HLE-Verified Gold, Theoria certifies 105 of 185 problems at 91.4% strict precision. It catches 94.7% of adversarial poisoned proofs versus 83.2% for holistic LLM judging, with the gap concentrated in hidden premises and fabricated citations, matching formal predictions.
