Fix RAG Hallucinations with Knowledge Graphs

The current standard for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) treats the context window like a 'junk drawer,' often flooding Large Language Models (LLMs) with irrelevant tokens. This practice increases latency, costs, and hallucination risks. The proposed solution is a 'Multidimensional Knowledge Graph' that acts as a 'Semantic Firewall,' filtering data before it reaches the AI.

By applying six deterministic dimensions—Identity, Organizational Hierarchy, Service Ownership, Dependencies, Temporal relevance, and Authority—the system filters noise aggressively. In a simulation comparing standard vector search to this graph approach, noise was reduced by 99% and context load dropped from ~8000 to ~400 tokens. This architectural shift ensures that LLMs receive only pristine, structured data, significantly lowering the probability of generating false information and optimizing operational efficiency.
