Knowledge-Base Use
Reference: This page is a source-based technical synthesis of the LaTeX chapter cited below. For exact syntax, availability or ABI signatures, verify the versioned source, manifest and executable tests.
Scope and source boundary
A knowledge base provides queryable typed concepts and provenance; the source does not turn every unverified note into an authoritative fact.
Conceptual memory provides structured context and provenance for knowledge-driven applications, including agents. It is not interchangeable with a conversation transcript, cached embedding, session buffer or invented “remembered” fact. The model distinguishes stable semantic relations from derived or temporary projections.
Engineering rules
- Give facts an explicit conceptual identity and scope.
- Record where observations come from and how their validity is established.
- Refresh derived views and indexes when authoritative relations change.
- Keep session memory separate from durable model and semantic memory.
