====== Reasoning ======

===== Definition of Reasoning =====
  * See definition in section 2 of [[https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.23323|Madabushi 2025]]

===== Reasoning Chains =====
See also [[nlp:prompting#Chain of Thought Prompting]].

These papers use some sort of reasoning chain, including natural language reasons or natural language "rules."
