— Entry I · The pattern —
external evidence→observations→synthesized knowledge→memory→cited answers
— Entry II · Named primitives —
- i.Observationa piece of evidence captured from an external system at a point in time
- ii.EvidenceRefa pointer back to the source — url, api call, log line, ticket
- iii.Entitya named thing the observations are about
- iv.Claima synthesized statement doxara is willing to repeat
- v.Confidencehow strongly a claim is held; mutable as evidence accumulates
- vi.Correctiona user-supplied override that adjusts a claim
- vii.SourceAdapterthe integration that produces observations from a system
- viii.SynthesisJobthe process that turns accumulated observations into claims
- ix.RetrievalQueryhow a caller asks doxara something
- x.AnswerTracethe citation trail returned with any answer, so the caller can show its work
— Entry III · Validation gate —
- Capture observations from live systems.
- Preserve source and provenance on everything.
- Convert repeated evidence into reusable knowledge.
- Remember corrections.
- Reduce repeated research and debugging time.
- Stay cheaper than brute-force context stuffing.
