UnWeaving the knots of GraphRAG -- turns out VectorRAG is almost enough

Adam Kozakiewicz, Mateusz Czy\.znikiewicz, Mateusz Gali\'nski, Micha{\l} Godziszewski, Micha{\l} Karpowicz, Ryszard Tuora, Tomasz Zi\k{e}tkiewicz

Entity decomposition of documents into cross-chunk links simplifies GraphRAG to near VectorRAG performance while preserving source fidelity.

✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

entity-based decomposition yields a more distilled representation of original information, and additionally serves to reduce noise in the indexing, and generation process.

C2weakest assumption

That an LLM can reliably extract entities across chunks without introducing systematic errors or hallucinations that would then propagate into retrieval.

C3one line summary

UnWeaver disentangles documents into entities via LLM to retrieve original chunks, yielding a simpler alternative to GraphRAG that still reduces noise and preserves source fidelity.
