Solution Generation Stage (Stage 4)

The Solution Generation stage is responsible for generating an information-rich solution to the user query, maximizing information content while optimizing the cognitive processing flow and eliminating redundancy. This stage ensures that the final response provides maximum value to the user by presenting the most relevant information in an optimally structured format.

Components

1. Solution Generation Service

The main service orchestrating the solution generation process. Key functionality includes:

• Coordinating the generation of comprehensive responses
• Prioritizing information elements by relevance and novelty
• Structuring information to optimize cognitive processing
• Eliminating redundant or low-value information
• Ensuring responses address specific metrics requested in the query

2. Information Optimizer

Optimizes the information content of the generated solution. Features include:

• Information theory-based content maximization
• Mutual information calculation between response elements
• Entropy optimization for maximum information density
• Information gain assessment for each content element
• Redundancy detection and elimination

3. Content Structurer

Structures the content for optimal cognitive processing. Functionality includes:

• Hierarchical information organization
• Progressive information disclosure patterns
