Integrated Reasoning v2 (IR-v2)
Meta-orchestration guide for choosing optimal reasoning patterns. Analyzes problem characteristics and recommends which cognitive methodology to use.
When to Use
Invoke when facing complex problems and unsure which reasoning approach fits best. IR-v2 scores 11 dimensions and selects the optimal pattern.
Available Patterns
| Pattern | Best For | Key Strength |
|---|
| ToT (Tree of Thoughts) | Find THE best among known options | Systematic evaluation |
| BoT (Breadth of Thought) | Explore ALL possible approaches | Exhaustive coverage |
| SRC (Self-Reflecting Chain) | Step-by-step with validation | Error correction |
| HE (Hypothesis-Elimination) | Find root CAUSE of issues | Diagnostic precision |
| AR (Adversarial Reasoning) | Stress-test solutions | Robustness validation |
| DR (Dialectical Reasoning) | Synthesize opposing views | Trade-off resolution |
| AT (Analogical Transfer) | Novel problems, no precedent | Creative solutions |
| RTR (Rapid Triage Reasoning) | Time-critical decisions | Speed optimization |
| NDF (Negotiated Decision Framework) | Multi-stakeholder alignment | Consensus building |
Quick Selection Guide
"I need the BEST option" → ToT
"I need ALL options" → BoT
"I need to trace step by step" → SRC
"I need to find THE CAUSE" → HE
"I need to VALIDATE a solution" → AR
"I'm stuck between two approaches" → DR
"This is completely novel" → AT
"I need to decide NOW" → RTR
"Multiple stakeholders must agree" → NDF
Dimension Scoring (0-5)
Before selecting a pattern, score these dimensions:
- Sequential Dependencies - Do steps depend on previous results?
- Criteria Clarity - How clear are success criteria?
- Solution Space Known - Are possible solutions well-defined?
- Single Answer Needed - Is one best answer required?
- Evidence Available - Can hypotheses be tested?
- Opposing Valid Views - Are there legitimate tensions?
- Problem Novelty - How unprecedented is this?
- Robustness Required - Must solution withstand attack?
- Solution Exists - Is there already a proposed solution?
- Time Pressure - How urgent is the decision?
- Stakeholder Complexity - How many parties must agree?
Pattern Affinity Formulas
ToT = (CriteriaClarity × 0.35) + (SingleAnswer × 0.30) + (SolutionSpaceKnown × 0.20) + (SequentialDeps × 0.15)
BoT = (1-SingleAnswer × 0.35) + (ProblemNovelty × 0.30) + (1-CriteriaClarity × 0.20) + (SequentialDeps × 0.15)
SRC = (SequentialDeps × 0.45) + (CriteriaClarity × 0.25) + (EvidenceAvailable × 0.20) + (RobustnessRequired × 0.10)
HE = (EvidenceAvailable × 0.40) + (CriteriaClarity × 0.30) + (SequentialDeps × 0.20) + (RobustnessRequired × 0.10)
AR = SolutionExists >= 3 ? (RobustnessRequired × 0.45) + (EvidenceAvailable × 0.25) + (CriteriaClarity × 0.20) + (1-TimePressure × 0.10) : 0
DR = (OpposingValidViews × 0.50) + (CriteriaClarity × 0.20) + (1-SingleAnswer × 0.15) + (1-TimePressure × 0.15)
AT = (ProblemNovelty × 0.45) + (1-SolutionSpaceKnown × 0.30) + (1-CriteriaClarity × 0.15) + (EvidenceAvailable × 0.10)
RTR = (TimePressure × 0.50) + (CriteriaClarity × 0.25) + (RobustnessRequired × 0.15) + (SequentialDeps × 0.10)
NDF = StakeholderComplexity >= 3 ? (StakeholderComplexity × 0.50) + (OpposingValidViews × 0.25) + (1-TimePressure × 0.15) + (CriteriaClarity × 0.10) : 0
Parallel Execution
When top 2 patterns score within 0.3 of each other:
- Run both patterns in parallel
- Compare outputs for agreement/disagreement
- Use consensus or vote to determine final answer
- Calibrate confidence based on agreement level
Usage Example
User: "Should we use microservices or monolith for our new app?"
IR-v2 Analysis:
- Sequential Dependencies: 2 (independent evaluation)
- Criteria Clarity: 3 (some clear, some subjective)
- Solution Space Known: 5 (two options)
- Single Answer Needed: 5 (must pick one)
- Opposing Valid Views: 4 (both have merit)
Top Patterns:
1. DR = 3.85 (opposing valid views present)
2. ToT = 3.60 (clear options to evaluate)
Recommendation: Use DR to synthesize trade-offs, then ToT to score final decision.
Output Format
When invoked, provide:
- Dimension scores with reasoning
- Pattern affinity calculations
- Top 2-3 recommended patterns
- Suggested execution approach
- Confidence level (low/medium/high)
