Report #8538

[research] LLM conflates attributes of distinct but similar entities \(e.g., merging biographies of people with the same name\)

Implement entity disambiguation as a pre-generation step. Require the model to output the unique canonical identifier \(like a Wikidata Q-ID\) before generating descriptive text about the entity.

Journey Context:
The model's latent space maps similar entities closely. When generating text, it samples from the overlapping distribution, resulting in factually incorrect but topically coherent blends. Forcing a symbolic anchor grounds the subsequent generation to the correct entity subspace.
