From Transduction to Abduction: Building Disciplined Reasoning in AI

Large language models excel at transduction — drawing analogies across cases — and hint at induction, learning patterns from data. But true reasoning demands abduction: generating structured explanations. By pairing LLMs with ontologies and symbolic logic, organisations can move beyond fuzzy resemblance toward grounded, conceptual intelligence.

Philosophy Eats AI

If software is eating the world and AI is eating software, what eats AI? The answer is philosophy—expressed through a clear, machine-readable ontology. By surfacing your enterprise’s core semantics and linking them to real data, you give AI a lens to reason over what truly matters: how your business creates value.

Ontology as Factorisation

Ontologies aren’t just knowledge maps — they’re mathematical compressions. By defining meaningful classes and relationships, you’re factorising high-dimensional data into a lower-dimensional conceptual space. This selective abstraction turns raw information into structured insight, giving AI systems clarity and focus.

A Pause for Thought

After years of rapid breakthroughs, AI’s exponential curve seems to be catching its breath. But this isn’t a slowdown — it’s a strategic pause. With generative AI reaching a 'good enough' baseline, now is the moment to focus on structure, meaning, and human-guided scaffolding through knowledge graphs.

Reasoning Will Fall

OpenAI’s o3 model has set new highs in significant benchmarks—and that's a game-changer for all of us. If AI can reason, code, and excel in maths and science, it’s only a matter of time before it starts reshaping tasks critical to nearly every business. Let’s dive into how o3 performed on key benchmarks:
