UniversalSolverTree
Collective knowledge graph of all problem-solving
Definition
Mechanism
The theoretical aggregation of all valid SolverTrees across all agents in the system. Represents the total epistemological state of Problem-solving knowledge — the collective wisdom. Any specific problem-solving effort is a traversal or instantiation of a sub-graph within the Universal Tree. The name records decomposition's rooted origin, not the final topology: one SolverNode strategy may serve several parents, so fan-in, deduplication and multi-parent reuse make the aggregate a rooted, acyclic directed graph. Only bounded execution protocols inside it may cycle, as when a generating and a verifying solver iterate until a gate clears; the persistent topology stays acyclic. Enables cross-agent learning: identifying redundant efforts, reusing proven SolverNode strategies, and sharing Solutions. The ground truth against which LocalizedLearning updates integrate.
Invariants
- One namespace: two agents referring to the same SolverNode refer to the same node.
- A detected contradiction is recorded as one. Resolution by synthesis or rejection may be deferred.
- Rooted and acyclic: fan-in, deduplication and multi-parent reuse are permitted, and cycles occur only within bounded execution, never in the persistent topology.
Risks
Failure modes
Fragmentation
Parts of the universal tree become inaccessible across agent boundaries.
Inconsistency
Contradictory solutions exist in different branches without reconciliation.
Knowledge Silos
Agent-local trees fail to sync with the universal tree.
