Pipeline Architecture

The Four-Sided Triangle implements a sophisticated 8-stage pipeline for complex knowledge extraction and processing. This document provides an overview of the pipeline architecture and how the stages work together.

Pipeline Overview

The pipeline consists of eight specialized stages, each handling a specific aspect of the knowledge extraction and processing workflow:

1. Query Processing: Transforms ambiguous natural language queries into structured representations
2. Semantic ATDB: Performs semantic transformation with throttling detection and bypass
3. Domain Knowledge: Extracts and organizes domain-specific knowledge
4. Reasoning Optimization: Applies advanced reasoning strategies and optimizations
5. Solution Generation: Produces information-rich solutions with optimal cognitive flow
6. Response Scoring: Evaluates solution quality using Bayesian evaluation
7. Response Comparison: Implements ensemble diversification techniques
8. Threshold Verification: Performs final quality verification and optimization

Stage Interactions

Data Flow

The pipeline implements a sequential flow where each stage builds upon the outputs of previous stages:

1. Query Processing → Semantic ATDB
   • Structured query representation
   • Query metadata and context
   • Processing preferences
2. Semantic ATDB → Domain Knowledge
   • Semantic analysis results
   • Throttling detection data
   • Bypass strategy outcomes
3. Domain Knowledge → Reasoning Optimization
   • Extracted domain knowledge
   • Confidence metrics
   • Dependency mappings
4. Reasoning Optimization → Solution Generation
   • Optimized reasoning strategies
   • Bias reduction results
   • Solution approaches
5. Solution Generation → Response Scoring
   • Generated solution
   • Information metrics
   • Structure metadata
6. Response Scoring → Response Comparison
   • Quality assessments
   • Uncertainty metrics
   • Refinement suggestions
7. Response Comparison → Threshold Verification
   • Combined response
   • Diversity metrics
   • Component weights

Quality Assurance

Each stage implements quality checks and refinement capabilities:

• Validation: Input and output validation at each stage
• Refinement: Ability to refine outputs based on feedback
• Metrics: Comprehensive performance and quality metrics
• Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of stage performance
