Ground

What does the system know, and how do we prove where it came from?

The knowledge graph is a provenance and governance layer, not only a retrieval technique.

Directions

  1. Corroboration-gated graph construction.
  2. Selective graph pruning for constrained devices.
  3. GraphRAG versus vector RAG compared on quality per watt and per euro.
  4. Temporal and versioned memory with contradiction detection.
  5. Policy as graph.
