Contextual Structured Memory(CSM)

Memory organized in predefined, interpretable formats supporting symbolic reasoning and precise querying for multi-agent agentic AI systems

Complexity: highMemory Management

๐ŸŽฏ 30-Second Overview

Pattern: Memory organized in predefined, interpretable formats supporting symbolic reasoning and precise queries

Why: Precise querying, formal logic reasoning, data integrity, consistent structured knowledge access

Key Insight: Schemas + Knowledge Graphs + Structured Queries + Symbolic Logic โ†’ Precise reasoning & consistency

โšก Quick Implementation

1Define Schemas:Create predefined memory structures & formats
2Build Graph:Implement knowledge graph with typed relationships
3Enable Queries:Support precise SQL-like structured queries
4Add Reasoning:Implement symbolic logic & inference rules
5Share Structure:Enable cross-agent structured knowledge access
Example: schema_design โ†’ knowledge_graph โ†’ structured_queries โ†’ symbolic_reasoning โ†’ cross_agent_sharing

๐Ÿ“‹ Do's & Don'ts

โœ…Use standardized schemas (JSON Schema, RDF, OWL) for consistency
โœ…Implement precise query capabilities with structured filters
โœ…Enable symbolic reasoning with formal logic rules
โœ…Maintain referential integrity across knowledge graphs
โœ…Version control schemas and support backward compatibility
โŒOver-structure flexible data that benefits from loose schemas
โŒCreate overly complex schemas that are hard to understand
โŒIgnore schema evolution and migration strategies
โŒUse structured memory for highly dynamic unstructured content
โŒForget to validate data integrity when updating structures

๐Ÿšฆ When to Use

Use When

  • โ€ข Complex domain relationships need modeling
  • โ€ข Precise queries and reasoning required
  • โ€ข Formal logic and symbolic reasoning needed
  • โ€ข Data integrity and consistency critical
  • โ€ข Multi-agent knowledge sharing important

Avoid When

  • โ€ข Simple key-value storage needs
  • โ€ข Highly dynamic unstructured content
  • โ€ข Rapid prototyping with changing requirements
  • โ€ข Natural language processing tasks
  • โ€ข Real-time streaming data scenarios

๐Ÿ“Š Key Metrics

Schema Coverage
% domain concepts properly modeled
Query Precision
Accuracy of structured query results
Reasoning Correctness
% valid logical inferences
Data Integrity
Referential consistency score
Schema Utilization
% schema fields actively used
Cross-Agent Consistency
Shared structure alignment rate

๐Ÿ’ก Top Use Cases

Financial Analysis: Company financials, ratios, regulations in structured schemas (SQL-like queries: "SELECT companies WHERE pe_ratio < 25 AND sector = 'technology'")
Legal Systems: Laws, cases, precedents with formal relationship modeling (complex legal reasoning and precedent matching)
Scientific Databases: Research data with standardized ontologies and precise queries (materials science, drug discovery)
Enterprise Resource Planning: Business entities, processes, relationships in formal schemas (inventory, supply chain optimization)
Healthcare Records: Patient data, treatments, outcomes with medical ontologies (clinical decision support systems)
