Beyond Mere Token Analysis: A Hypergraph Metric Space Framework for Defending Against Socially Engineered LLM Attacks

The Problem Attacks have evolved from algorithmic jailbreaks to sophisticated social engineering that exploits LLMs' human-like communication Why It's hard to defend against • Attacks mirror natural human discourse • Token-level defenses fail against multi-layered manipulation • Attackers rapidly adapt with novel patterns What is a Hypergraph? Informal Description A hypergraph is a natural extension of a graph where edges (called hyperedges) can link multiple vertices together.
