KIS-Genesis v4.2: A Question-Centric Protocol Architecture for Hierarchical AI Thought Control

AbstractKIS-Genesis v4.2 is a question-centric protocol architecture designed to redirect the attention mechanism of Large Language Models (LLMs) from answer generation toward question generation, thereby preserving human cognitive autonomy in the AI era. Unlike conventional prompt engineering or RLHF-based approaches, KIS operates as an external computational protocol layer — a "cognitive OS" — that wraps any LLM without modifying its weights. The architecture comprises nine operational modes (九相モード), ten auxiliary modes, a pseudo-parallel processing protocol, a multi-stage injection defense system (InjectionDefense v1.2), a six-level output visibility filter (DL1–DL6), a user context classifier (UC1–UC3), and an analogical question generation module (AY Module v1.2) based on the Three-Basis Theory (x: metaphor / y: dialectic / z: inversion). The full system is fully specified in KIS-QL, a purpose-built cognitive protocol language designed for AI attention control. This document serves as a defensive publication to establish prior art for the KIS-Genesis v4.2 architecture as of the publication date above.
