Python-Based Reasoning Engine
Introducing a Python-Based Reasoning Engine for Deterministic AI In the age of large language models (LLMs), there’s a growing need for deterministic systems that enforce rules and constraints while reasoning about information. We’ve developed a Python-based reasoning and validation framework that bridges the gap between traditional rule-based logic and modern AI capabilities, inspired by frameworks like Pydantic. This approach is designed for developers and non-technical experts alike, making it easy to build complex rule engines that translate natural language instructions into enforceable code. Our fine-tuned model automates the creation of rules while ensuring human oversight for quality and conflict detection. The result? Faster implementation of rule engines, reduced developer overhead, and flexible extensibility across domains. The Framework at a Glance Our system consists of five core components: To analogize, this framework operates like a game of chess: Our framework supports two primary use cases: Key Features and Benefits Case Studies Validation Engine: Ensuring Compliance A mining company needed to validate employee qualifications based on age, region, and role. Example Data Structure: jsonCopy code{ “employees”: [ { “name”: “Sarah”, “age”: 25, “role”: “Manager”, “documents”: [“safe_handling_at_work”, “heavy_lifting”] }, { “name”: “John”, “age”: 17, “role”: “Laborer”, “documents”: [“heavy_lifting”] } ] } Rules: jsonCopy code{ “rules”: [ { “type”: “min_age”, “parameters”: { “min_age”: 18 } }, { “type”: “dozer_operator”, “parameters”: { “document_type”: “dozer_qualification” } } ] } Outcome:The system flagged violations, such as employees under 18 or missing required qualifications, ensuring compliance with organizational rules. Reasoning Engine: Solving the River Crossing Puzzle The classic river crossing puzzle demonstrates the engine’s reasoning capabilities. Problem Setup:A farmer must ferry a goat, a wolf, and a cabbage across a river, adhering to specific constraints (e.g., the goat cannot be left alone with the cabbage). Steps: Output:The engine generated a solution in 0.0003 seconds, showcasing its efficiency in navigating complex logic. Advanced Features: Dynamic Rule Expansion The system supports real-time rule adjustments. For instance, adding a “wolf cannot be left with a chicken” constraint introduces a conflict. By extending rules (e.g., allowing the farmer to carry two items), the engine dynamically resolves previously unsolvable scenarios. Sample Code Snippet: pythonCopy codeclass CarryingCapacityRule(Rule): def evaluate(self, state): items_moved = sum(1 for item in [‘wolf’, ‘goat’, ‘cabbage’, ‘chicken’] if getattr(state, item) == state.farmer) return items_moved <= 2 def get_description(self): return “Farmer can carry up to two items at a time” Result:The adjusted engine solved the puzzle in three moves, down from seven, while maintaining rule integrity. Collaborative UI for Rule Creation Our user interface empowers domain experts to define rules without writing code. Developers validate these rules, which are then seamlessly integrated into the system.
