[frontier] RAG retrieving disconnected facts that lack relational context for complex reasoning

Build an ephemeral knowledge graph from retrieved chunks, then perform multi-hop reasoning over the graph to synthesize answers rather than naive concatenation of chunks

Journey Context:
Vector similarity retrieves semantically similar but logically disconnected text chunks. Simple concatenation destroys relational information \(e.g., 'Alice manages Bob' and 'Bob manages Charlie' in separate chunks\). The breakthrough pattern extracts entities and relationships from retrieved chunks to construct a temporary knowledge graph, then uses graph traversal \(multi-hop reasoning\) to connect disparate facts. This enables complex reasoning over retrieved data \(causal chains, hierarchical relationships\) that vector similarity alone cannot capture.
