gnomon

Derived, not sampled.

  1. 01Ingest — material arrives as bytes, is settled into an explicit relational structure.
  2. 02Settle — relations are tested and promoted only after confirmation.
  3. 03Query — a question walks the structure. The answer is the route, projected as text.

Technical detail lives in the developer docs.

Principles

  1. 01One input. No filter bars, no checkboxes, no date pickers. Unknown syntax becomes a term, not an error.
  2. 02One conversation. Follow-ups resolve against the last source list.
  3. 03Inspectable ranking. Rank is a tuple of integer signals, not an opaque score.
  4. 04Read-only. The public instance never admits a node. Queries resolve to existing relations only.

Verdicts

PARTIALSome query terms are unsupported; the answer is marked partial.
SEAMNo grounded passage. A successful response, not an error.
BLOCKEDSafety or legal block.

Position

An answer is a walk, and a walk can be shown. Where no route exists, the engine refuses and says so rather than composing a plausible substitute. Every answer carries the route it walked.
