Report #92819

[architecture] Vector search fails to answer questions that require connecting multiple distinct memories or reasoning across hops.

Implement iterative retrieval where the agent queries the memory store multiple times based on intermediate results, or use a knowledge graph \(GraphRAG\) for relational memory instead of just a flat vector store.

Journey Context:
Vector stores are flat; they find A given Q. If Q requires finding A to get keyword B to find C, single-shot vector search fails because the embedding for Q is not semantically close to C. Graph-based memory or multi-step agentic RAG is necessary for relational reasoning and multi-hop queries.
