From Jam to Language Models, from Food Law to Zeji-LM: An Original Research Dialogue Record / 果酱-语言模型-食品法-Zeji-LM 研究对话原始记录
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This record preserves the original research dialogue between Ai Chen and GPT-5.6 Sol on October 31, 2026, from the initial question “Why isn’t jam called large jam, while today’s mainstream AI systems are commonly called large language models?” through the subsequent discussion of language-model identity, definitions and mechanisms, epistemology, U.S. food law and standards of identity, training-data selection and provenance, conformity and certification, and the Zeji Language Model (Zeji-LM) standard. The dialogue documents the development, revision, and rejection of several ideas in real time. Rather than presenting a reconstructed account of how the conclusions were reached, it preserves the research process itself, including questions, analogies, counterexamples, factual searches, corrections, disagreements, and changes in the strength of claims. The recurring “jam” thought experiments gradually developed into a broader inquiry into the distinction between what an object is, how it works, how its identity is defined, what evidence supports an identity claim, and how such claims may be audited. This record is published to provide a traceable primary source for the intellectual and literary origins of the related research, including *From Jam to Language Models, from Food Law to Zeji-LM: The Epistemology Behind the Definition of Large Language Models*. It may be used to verify what was actually said during the research dialogue and how particular questions and arguments developed. External historical, legal, scientific, and technical claims appearing in the dialogue should not, however, be treated as independently verified merely because they appear in this record; such claims require their respective external sources. 本记录保存了 艾晨 与 GPT-5.6 Sol 于 2026 年 10 月 31 日进行的原始研究对话。对话从“为什么果酱不叫大果酱,而今天的主流 AI 却普遍被称为大语言模型?”这一问题开始,随后逐步延伸至语言模型的身份、定义与机制、认识论、美国食品法与食品身份标准、训练语料的选择与来源、标准符合性与认证,以及择继语言模型(Zeji Language Model,Zeji-LM)标准。 这份对话记录了若干观点在研究过程中实时产生、修正和被否定的过程。它并非事后重构“结论是怎样得到的”,而是直接保留研究过程本身,包括问题、类比、反例、事实检索、纠正、分歧以及论断强度的变化。反复出现的“果酱”思想实验逐渐发展为一个更广泛的问题:一个事物是什么、它如何运行、它的身份如何被定义、什么证据能够支持一种身份主张,以及这种主张如何接受审查。 公开本记录的目的,是为相关研究的思想与文学来源提供一份可追溯的第一手资料,其中包括《从果酱到语言模型、从食品法到 Zeji-LM——大语言模型定义背后的认识论》。读者可以据此核验研究对话中实际说过什么,以及特定问题和论证如何逐步形成。但对话中涉及的外部历史、法律、科学和技术事实,并不会因为出现在本记录中就自动成为已经独立核实的事实;这些主张仍须分别依据相应的外部资料进行验证。
