A new arXiv preprint proposes a conceptual model for treating LLM workflow components — definitions, instances, inference records, context snapshots — as persistent, inspectable knowledge objects in a shared substrate. The framework draws on Lisp-inspired ideas (symbolic forms, object identity, live-image thinking) as explanatory lenses rather than implementation commitments. A central distinction is drawn between 'derive' (deterministic computation) and 'infer' (LLM-mediated judgment under declared context), with formal transition semantics left as future work. The work addresses a gap in how agentic workflow systems represent and reason about their own execution state.
