In current Large Language Models we can trust the production of smoothly flowing prose on the basis of the principles of machine learning. However, there is no comparably principled basis to justify trust in the content of the text produced. It appears to be conventional wisdom that addressing this issue by adding more principled reasoning is not computationally affordable. Here we propose a principled method of reasoning that is efficient enough to be practical for large language models. Further, the method allows the retention of much of the currently used software and hardware base. Our method for improving the functioning of large language models consists of a first stage of preprocessing that recodes the data to a Unary Relational Integracode that is more explicit about the relationships among the objects described in the text, followed as a second stage by a standard but possibly streamlined machine learning process that then also learns to predict these relationships. The method may be viewed as realizing a world model and applying beyond natural language, to vision and actions, for example, where the multiple properties of an object referred to in an input are brought together explicitly, rather than remaining distributed in the various references to it in the input. We articulate its advantages in terms of Robust Logic, a system for performing principled chaining on learned, and hence uncertain, information. We show that this recoding has the surprising and fortuitous property that, while succinct, it makes the task of learning a core subset of relational rules that hold in the world described in the training data polynomial time learnable in a defined sense, the polynomial depending on the complexity of the rule. This gives support for sound reasoning within each single call of the learned classifier as well as between multiple calls.
