Explainable Innovation Engine: Dual-Tree Agent-RAG with Methods-as-Nodes and Verifiable Write-Back

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.09192v1 Announce Type: new Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves factual grounding, yet most systems rely on flat chunk retrieval and provide limited control over multi-step synthesis. We propose an Explainable Innovation Engine that upgrades the knowledge unit from text chunks to methods-as-nodes. The engine maintains a weighted method provenance tree for traceable derivations and a hierarchical clustering abstraction tree for efficient top-down navigation.
