# kaal:claim:6421319-024

**Claim.** Hybrid neuro symbolic architectures structurally shrink the hallucination surface because the probabilistic layer generates candidate outputs while a symbolic layer filters, validates, and rejects any output violating formally specified rules, known ontological relations, or deductively verifiable constraints.

**Type.** design  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- demonstrated in retrieval augmented generation and formal verification pipelines for code generation
