When to use which reasoning pattern in Agentic AI - Model Pipeline Trace

Model Pipeline - When to use which reasoning pattern

This pipeline helps an AI agent decide which reasoning pattern to use based on the problem it faces. It processes input data, analyzes context, selects the best reasoning method, and produces a decision or answer.

Data Flow - 4 Stages

1Input Data

1 problem description text→Receive problem description and context→1 problem description text

"Find the shortest path between two cities on a map."

↓

2Context Analysis

1 problem description text→Extract key features and constraints from the problem→1 feature vector with 10 elements

["graph", "shortest_path", "deterministic", "static"]

↓

3Reasoning Pattern Selection

1 feature vector with 10 elements→Classify which reasoning pattern fits best (e.g., deductive, inductive, abductive, analogical)→1 reasoning pattern label

"deductive"

↓

4Reasoning Execution

1 reasoning pattern label + problem data→Apply selected reasoning pattern to solve the problem→1 solution or decision

"Shortest path found using Dijkstra's algorithm."
