    "description": "Explores the solution space as a directed graph with branching, merging, and\nbacktracking. Builds a graph of thought nodes, branches at decision points to\ngenerate alternative approaches, evaluates each branch independently, prunes\nlow-scoring branches, allows merging when branches converge to similar solutions,\nsupports backtracking to explore alternative paths, and navigates the graph to\nfind the optimal solution path. Extends tree-of-thoughts with merge operations.\n",
