Improving Copilot's Causal Reasoning and Command Throughput via Centralized Protocol Layer (EDCA)
Problem Statement
Copilot's agentic behavior is confined to pre-defined workflows or embedded tools.
Prompt variability leads to semantic drift across sessions.
Causal reasoning is weak under user goal ambiguity (e.g., “X + Y + Z triggers unintended output B”).
Developer-side cost for scaling model I/O is too high under the current chain-of-thought format.
Proposed Architecture: EDCA
Central Control Layer (Mediator Core)
Acts as routing hub between expression → intention → execution path.
Supports fallback chains, multi-path detection, and output anchoring.
Protocol-based Expression Parsing
User utterances are parsed through a control protocol rather than raw prompts.
Enables modular injection of reasoning modules.
Agent Proxy Submodules
For scalable delegation in C-end scenarios (non-technical users).
Acts under a value-aligned behavior sandbox.
Results from Experimental Deployment
Metric Before (Raw Prompt) After (EDCA Protocol)
Throughput (req/min/core) ~120 ~170
Semantic Coherence (avg depth) Moderate Significantly Higher
Resource Waste (multi-chain) ~23% conflict ~5% conflict
Why This Matters for Copilot
Scales beyond pre-defined tools
Enhances user trust via stable expression paths
Reduces cost via intention compression & fewer back-and-forth calls
Enables structured delegation for both B-end and C-end deployment scenarios
Call for Feedback
This is not a product — this is a thinking protocol.
We’d love to hear from Copilot devs, LLM architects, and interaction designers:
Where is Copilot heading? How can control layers like EDCA join the ecosystem?
