Report #14063

[architecture] Vector search fails to answer questions requiring connections across disparate documents

Augment vector memory with a knowledge graph \(GraphRAG\) or implement iterative retrieval loops where the output of search A is used to formulate search B.

Journey Context:
Embedding spaces cluster semantically similar concepts, but relational logic \(e.g., 'A caused B, which affected C'\) is lost in flat vector representations. If the answer requires traversing a relationship, vector search will only retrieve local neighborhoods, missing the global reasoning path.
