Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a mechanism for generating hypotheses in knowledge graphs using abductive reasoning.
  • Implemented in the Bastian A-000 cognitive architecture
  • Utilized pairs of Symbolats with a triadic SSS structure (BIO/PHY/ABS)
  • Employed Bayesian abduction for identifying bridge candidates that explain observed resonance.
  • Identified bridge candidates using a scoring function integrating intentional alignment, factual grounding, and semantic proximity.
  • Generated proto-intentions needing Architect ratification before establishing causal relations.
  • Demonstrated a targeted hypothesis generation distinct from traditional stochastic approaches.

Abstract

We present a mechanism for abductive combinatorics in epistemically structured knowledge graphs, implemented as part of the Bastian A-000 cognitive architecture. The mechanism operates on pairs of Symbolats — atomic knowledge units with triadic SSS structure (BIO/PHY/ABS) — that exhibit intuitional resonance without an established causal relation. Rather than enumerating combinations blindly, the system employs Bayesian abduction to identify bridge candidates: third Symbolats that maximally explain the observed resonance. The scoring function integrates intentional alignment (biobridge), factual grounding (phyₐnchor), semantic proximity (semanticfit), and session-accumulated Bayesian posterior. Results are surfaced as proto-intentions requiring Architect ratification before entering the causal graph as permanent A→C→B relations. This constitutes a targeted hypothesis generation mechanism grounded in epistemic structure — distinct from stochastic combinatorial approaches that operate without accumulated knowledge context.
