PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Completion in large language
    models, including prompts, context, token distributions, decoding,
    generated tokens, stop conditions, output sequences, sampling,
    deterministic selection, provenance, validation, uncertainty and
    recursive autoregressive generation.

CORE_DEFINITION
    A Completion is model-generated output produced by extending an input
    prompt or active context with one or more generated tokens according
    to a language model's output distribution, decoding procedure and
    defined stopping conditions.

CONSTRAINTS
    Completion and prompt must remain distinct.

    Completion and verified answer must remain distinct.

    Generated token order must be preserved.

    Decoding parameters must remain distinct from learned model parameters.

    Token probabilities must not automatically be interpreted as factual confidence.

    A high-probability generated sequence may still contain factual errors.

    Retrieved evidence and tool outputs incorporated into a completion
    must retain their provenance.

    Stop conditions must be preserved when analysing generation.

    Completion behaviour may change across model versions or decoding configurations.

    Critical Distinction
        A completion is generated from model probabilities and decoding
        rules, not retrieved automatically as a verified answer. High token
        probability or fluent output does not by itself establish factual
        correctness.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    A Completion is output generated by a large language model by extending
    a prompt or active context with predicted tokens. At each generation
    step the model produces a token distribution, a decoding procedure
    selects or samples a token, and generation continues until a stop
    condition is reached. Completion behaviour depends on model version,
    context and decoding configuration, and generated statements should
    remain distinct from externally verified facts.
