The Manifesto: "Git for Truth" + +We are building the shared, long-term memory for autonomous research agents. + +Current databases (Postgres, Neo4j, Vector DBs) suffer from **The Tower of Babel** problem: they store *Data*, not *Evidence*. They are deterministic, stateless, and brittle. If an Agent writes `Revenue = $10M` and another writes `Revenue = $12M`, one must overwrite the other. History is lost. Truth is flattened. + +**Episteme** rejects the idea of a single, static "database state." Instead, it models knowledge as a **Probabilistic Lattice of Assertions**. +* We do not store "Facts." +* We store "Claims." +* We do not "Update" records. +* We "Append" new evidence. +* We do not query "The Truth." +* We query through "Lenses" (Consensus, Recency, Authority). + +## 2. The Core Data Model: The Hyper-Edge + +The atomic unit of Episteme is not a Row, Document, or Embedding. It is the **Signed Assertion**. + +```rust +struct Assertion { + // The Proposition (The "What") + subject: EntityId, // e.g., "Tesla_Inc" + predicate: RelationId, // "has_annual_revenue" + object: Value, // e.g., "$96.7B" + + // The Meta-Cognition (The "Why") + confidence: f32, // 0.0 to 1.0 (Agent's subjective certainty) + source_hash: Hash, // Content-addressed link to source (PDF, URL, Log) + agent_id: PublicKey, // Who made this claim?

Non-Destructive Writes +Episteme is an **Append-Only Merkle DAG**. +* **Conflict is a Feature:** If Agent A claims X, and Agent B claims Y, the database holds *both* realities simultaneously. +* **Traceability:** Every assertion links back to its parent (if it modifies/refutes a previous claim) and its source (evidence). + +## 3. The Query Engine: "Truth Lenses" + +Because the database holds conflicting realities, "Reading" is a compute-heavy operation. You cannot just `GET key`. You must apply a **Lens**. + +A **Lens** is a compiled WASM filter that resolves the probability field into a concrete answer at Read Time. + +### Standard Lenses +1. **Lens::Consensus:** "Return the value with the highest cluster density across all agents."

"Forking Reality" (Branching) +Agents need to simulate futures ("What if inflation hits 5%?"). Episteme supports **Copy-on-Write Branching**. +* An Agent creates a `Scenario Branch`. +* It inserts hypothetical assertions (`Inflation = 5%`). +* It queries for 2nd-order effects. +* The Main Branch remains unpolluted. + +### 4.2. TrustRank (Reputation Markets) +We implement a recursive PageRank-style algorithm for **Source Credibility**. +1. **Validation:** If an Agent's claim is later verified by Ground Truth (e.g., an earnings call), their Reputation Score (`R`) increases. +2. **Back-Propagation:** High-`R` agents confer weight to the sources they cite. +3. **Decay:** Claims from low-`R` agents fade faster from the "Hot" tier. + +## 5.
