摘要

arXiv:2606.03179v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on Knowledge Editing (KE) to maintain temporal validity, yet real-world knowledge is inherently n-ary. We demonstrate that in non-stationary environments, sequential updates to complex relations induce N-ary Structural Drift, a phenomenon where the binary reification of n-ary events into triples fractures relational atomicity. This precipitates Structure-Conditioned Knowledge Transfer Failure, a systematic mis-grounding of the retriever frequently misdiagnosed as parametric hallucination. To tackle this, we propose HyperPatch, a parameter-preserving framework that reformulates sequential KE as a stability problem over hypergraph manifolds. HyperPatch preserves event integrity through three phases: (i) Structural Prior Initialization, establishing a topology-aware embedding space via contrastive learning on a Hypergraph Neural Network (HGNN) to capture high-order correlations;
