Abstract

The article investigates the fundamental problem of ensuring the stability of operator control and preserving goal-targeting in hybrid human-machine decision support systems (DSS) of a new generation. Based on a two-month continuous longitudinal experiment on the joint design of a monograph-format textual array, the latent phenomenon of semantic context drift in large language models of deep logical reasoning (Reasoning LLMs) is verified and described. A mathematical model of interaction in the human-machine interface is proposed, and an original metric is introduced - the operator control stability coefficient, which takes into account the non-linear contextual pressure of hidden reasoning chains. Within the paradigm of the cognitome theory, a critical point of control functions inversion is captured. Engineering recommendations are formulated for implementing dynamic relational arbitration loops based on a modified hierarchical similarity model.
