[research] Conflating attributes of distinct entities that share similar names or contexts \(e.g., mixing up scientists with the same last name\)

Implement an explicit entity resolution step before generation. Force the model to output the unique ID \(e.g., Wikidata Q-ID\) of the entity before generating any attributes about it.

Journey Context:
LLMs represent entities as clusters of semantic features. When entities are close in latent space, the model's generation can blend their attributes. Relying on the model to 'just know' the difference fails; forcing symbolic disambiguation \(Q-IDs\) grounds the subsequent generation and prevents feature bleed.
