01
What they are
A detached system is the deterministic layer that handles repeatable work outside the LLM.
Technical Explainer
Detached Systems
Detached Systems are AINNA's way of keeping deterministic logic outside the LLM. They improve auditability, reduce repeated token use and make routing, validation and business rules explicit.
02
Why separate it
Rules, validation and routing are easier to audit when they are not hidden inside prompt text.
03
Validation
Schema checks, business rules, completeness checks and threshold checks happen before action.
04
Routing
The LLM is only used when a request actually needs language reasoning or flexible synthesis.
05
Risk reduction
Fewer retries, fewer hallucinated paths and fewer expensive calls lower operational risk.
06
Auditability
Each deterministic step can be logged, replayed and reviewed independently.
AINNA flow
- Input arrives with business context.
- Parser normalises the request.
- Deterministic rules handle obvious paths.
- The model is used only when a flexible answer is needed.
- Validation checks the output before action.
Why it matters
- Less wasteful token usage.
- Clearer traceability.
- Lower risk of hidden logic in prompts.
- Better fit for enterprise governance.
Limitations
- Detached logic still needs maintenance.
- Some work is better handled by a model.
- Rules do not remove the need for human review on critical actions.
