This repository empirically proves computational semiotics.

The only “metacognitive” (2nd order) and metapragmatic (3rd order) model I’m aware of.

IDK if the author's 'metacognition' needs to be a feature of the LLM itself.

I could imagine a harness that 1) reads LLM output 2) uses a research sub-agent to attempt to verify any factual claims 2) rephrase the main agent's output such that it conveys uncertainty if the factual claim cannot be independently verified

Unproductive tangent: Why do we call it "hallucinationing" instead of "bullshitting" when that is so clearly what it is?

If I'm talking to a guy that says, "I have a really fast metabolism, that's why I can eat whatever I want", he's not hallucinating - he's full of shit.

Avoiding crass language may be one reason.

Just think, one of the hullabaloos of today is because our ancestors were two Victorian to put "sex" on the birth certificate
