Retrieval and Context

Documentation status: guide — see Maturity and evidence.

Retrieval selects what should enter the active reasoning context.

Beyond vector-only RAG

A vector-only RAG system retrieves text fragments. logiCells can retrieve conceptual structures such as concepts, rules, traces, workflows, past decisions, graph neighborhoods, failure-journal entries, relevant layers, and source documents.

Retrieval channels

symbolic query
graph traversal
HNSW / vector search
GNN/HGNN similarity
LLM summarization
metadata filtering
context constraints

The objective is not maximum recall but maximum reasoning value under the current context.
