Ontology-Amplified Distillation and Contextuality Auditing for Sovereign Enterprise Language Models: A Combined Proof-of-Mechanism and Negative-Results Method Study

Regulated financial institutions operating under data-residency rules need tenant-owned language models that can run inside the institution's perimeter. This paper combines two related FAOS studies into one mechanism-and-control article. First, it reports a reduced-power proof-of-mechanism study of ontology-amplified distillation: a Qwen3.6-27B student is adapted to the Foundation AgenticOS ontology through supervised fine-tuning on frontier-teacher trajectories and ontology-grounded direct preference optimization (DPO), trained locally on a single Apple M5 Max from 47 synthetic, English-language, cross-domain preference pairs. On 40 held-out Vietnamese financial-domain tasks, the distilled student grounds 36 of 40 tasks (grounded rate 0.90; mean ontology term-coverage r_onto = 0.95 on a metric floored at 0.50), equal to the GPT-5 frontier baseline, which also grounds 36 of 40. The outcome is underpowered to establish equivalence: the paired-difference 95% confidence interval spans +/-4 tasks, and the run does not test or show the pre-registered amplification prediction that the student should exceed the frontier. Second, the paper consolidates a contextuality-audit method for enterprise-agent routing. In a separate negative-results pilot, the corrected canonical Contextuality-by-Default degree is zero for all Phase 1.3 groups in both the local-Qwen run and an explicitly labeled Gemma replication check; the useful signal is direct influence and construct coupling, not surviving residual contextuality. Together, the studies pair an ontology-grounded model-building mechanism with a governance diagnostic for deciding when apparent disagreement should trigger prompt standardization, multi-agent synthesis, or human review. The evidence supports neither deployability, safety, superiority, statistical equivalence, nor a contextuality-positive routing rule.

Ontology-Constrained Neural Reasoning in Enterprise Agentic Systems: A Neurosymbolic Architecture for Domain-Grounded AI Agents

Enterprise adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) is constrained by hallucination, domain drift, and the inability to enforce regulatory compliance at the reasoning level. We present a neurosymbolic architecture implemented within the Foundation AgenticOS (FAOS) platform that addresses these limitations through ontology-constrained neural reasoning. We introduce a three-layer ontological framework--Role, Domain, and Interaction ontologies--grounding LLM-based enterprise agents. We formalize asymmetric neurosymbolic coupling: current enterprise systems constrain agent inputs (context assembly, tool discovery, governance thresholds) but not outputs, and we propose mechanisms extending this coupling to output-side validation (response checking, reasoning verification, compliance enforcement). A controlled experiment (1,800 runs across five industries and three LLMs: Claude Sonnet 4, Qwen 2.5 72B, Gemma 4 26B) finds ontology-coupled agents significantly outperform ungrounded agents on Metric Accuracy (p < .001) and Role Consistency (p < .001) across all three models with large effect sizes (Kendall's W = .46-.64). Improvements are greatest where LLM parametric knowledge is weakest--particularly in Vietnam-localized domains, where ontology lift is 2x that of English domains. Contributions: (1) a formal three-layer enterprise ontology model; (2) a taxonomy of neurosymbolic coupling patterns; (3) ontology-constrained tool discovery via SQL-pushdown scoring; (4) a proposed framework for output-side ontological validation; (5) empirical evidence for the inverse parametric knowledge effect--ontological grounding value is inversely proportional to LLM training-data coverage of the domain; (6) cross-model replication establishing model-independence; (7) a production system serving 22 industry verticals with 650+ agents.

Dynamic Coordination Strategy Selection for Enterprise Multi-Agent Systems

Enterprise multi-agent systems increasingly expose multiple coordination patterns, but deployments often lack evidence for when to use consensus, debate, synthesis, or a simpler single-agent workflow. This paper evaluates whether coordination strategy should be selected dynamically by problem class rather than fixed globally. We run a frozen matrix of 30 enterprise tasks spanning six industries, five problem classes, four execution conditions, three replications per cell, and four model arms: qwen_local, sonnet, gemma_openrouter, and an auxiliary openai cloud-validation arm. All 1,440 generated outputs are judged by a fixed Sonnet rubric. The main finding is bounded and operationally useful, but it is not the original strict H1. The pre-registered exact-winner/CI criterion is not supported: exact winner identity is unstable across model arms, and several predicted strategies are close to, but not above, the best observed alternative. A weaker near-best routing claim is strongly supported. In every pre-registered model arm and problem class, and again in the auxiliary OpenAI validation arm, the predicted strategy is within 0.10 quality-score points of the best observed condition. Structured compliance verification is the clearest exception to the original mapping: all arms favor single_agent rather than consensus. A pre-registered Kendall's W test finds no reliable difference between Vietnamese-domain and English-domain tasks in how consistently the four coordination conditions are ranked (mean W of 0.20 in both strata; signed-rank p = .85), so H2 is not supported. We conclude that enterprise coordination policy should use dynamic routing as a calibrated default, not as a deterministic winner-selection law.

Toward Pre-Deployment Assurance for Enterprise AI Agents: Ontology-Grounded Simulation and Trust Certification

Pre-deployment verification of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) agents remains a critical gap between large language model (LLM) capability benchmarking and production deployment. Post-deployment monitoring, human-in-the-loop controls, and prompt-level guardrails offer limited assurance once an agent is operating in production. We present an ontology-grounded verification framework -- to our knowledge the first to combine three components: an Agent Operational Envelope formalizing the certification space across permissions, domain constraints, safety properties, governance rules, and autonomy levels; an ontology-to-scenario generation pipeline that derives regulatory, operational, and adversarial test scenarios automatically; and a machine-verifiable Trust Certificate with graduated deployment verdicts. A controlled pilot across four regulated industries (Fintech, Banking, Insurance, Healthcare), instantiated as five industry-by-regulatory-regime cells across the United States and Vietnam (where Vietnam's 2025 AI Law makes such verification legally mandated for financial services), generated 1,800 scenarios evaluated against 125 primary-source regulatory requirements and 25 injected faults. Ontology-grounded generation significantly outperformed the dominant persona-based baseline on regulatory coverage (48.3% versus 33.1%; corrected p_c = .0006) and attained the highest domain specificity (4.77/5.0; p = 2e-6); transparently, its advantage over plain and retrieval-augmented prompting did not survive Bonferroni correction. Cross-validation across three LLM families (Claude Sonnet 4, Qwen 2.5 72B, Gemma 4 26B; 5,400 total scenarios) replicated the persona-versus-ontology pattern. The framework offers a reproducible, regulation-grounded route to pre-deployment assurance for enterprise AI agents, complementing runtime governance with an auditable deployment gate.
