Reflection & Insight Generation Engine

This module implements a cognitive architecture for generating higher-level insights from accumulated memories through reflection processes. The design is based on:

§Cognitive Science Foundation

§Core Research

  1. Metacognition Theory (Flavell, 1979): Thinking about thinking processes
  2. Elaborative Processing (Craik & Lockhart, 1972): Deeper processing creates stronger memories
  3. Schema Theory (Bartlett, 1932): Knowledge organized in interconnected structures
  4. Constructive Memory (Schacter, 1999): Memory reconstruction creates new insights
  5. Knowledge Graph Theory (Semantic Networks): Conceptual relationships enable inference

§Reflection Triggers

  • Importance Accumulation: Sum > 150 points triggers reflection
  • Semantic Clustering: Dense clusters of related memories
  • Temporal Patterns: Recurring themes over time
  • Contradiction Detection: Conflicting information requiring resolution
  • Gap Identification: Missing knowledge in established schemas

§Architecture Components

§1. Reflection Trigger System

Monitors memory accumulation and identifies when reflection should occur

§2. Memory Clustering Engine

Groups semantically related memories for insight generation

§3. Insight Generation Pipeline

  • Pattern Detection: Identifies recurring themes and relationships
  • Gap Analysis: Finds missing connections in knowledge structures
  • Synthesis: Combines related concepts into higher-level insights
  • Validation: Ensures insights are novel and meaningful

§4. Knowledge Graph Builder

Creates and maintains bidirectional relationships between memories and insights

§5. Meta-Memory Manager

Handles insight storage, retrieval, and relationship tracking
