Deterministic Legal Agents: A Canonical Primitive API for Auditable Reasoning over Temporal Knowledge Graphs

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2510.06002v3 Announce Type: replace In high-stakes legal domains, retrieval must preserve not only semantic relevance, but also the hierarchy, temporality, and causal provenance of legal norms. Standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), based mainly on semantic similarity over text fragments, cannot reliably provide this level of control. Prior work on SAT-Graph RAG addressed the representation problem by modeling legal materials as structure-aware temporal knowledge graphs.
