Hierarchical Reasoning

Execute sophisticated reasoning through a three-level cognitive architecture that mirrors human multi-timescale processing: strategic (abstract planning), tactical (approach design), and operational (detailed execution).

Core Principle

Separate concerns by abstraction level while maintaining bidirectional information flow:

• Strategic level formulates problems and sets goals (slow, abstract)
• Tactical level designs approaches and selects methods (medium, structured)
• Operational level performs detailed computations (fast, concrete)

Each level informs the others through iterative refinement until convergence.
