Explore the visual models

Inspect the ideas in more detail.

These teaching illustrations previously occupied the homepage. They use authored records and visual models to explain the research; they do not establish a running product integration or measured performance.

Use the controls to inspect a concept. Reduced motion provides static alternatives. For a concrete artifact, inspect the reference capsule.

The case for TACITUS / Knowledge structures for AI

Give AI the structure
behind the answer.

Finding a passage is one step. Interpreting it also means knowing who said it, what it refers to, when it was known, and whether anyone has challenged it.

TACITUS is developing Context Capsules to keep those relationships explicit: evidence, meaning, time, and methods in a reusable knowledge object. PRAXIS brings that context into the analyst’s work.

Meaning

Know what a statement is.

An allegation, an observation, and a commitment have different implications. Typed records keep those distinctions explicit.

Continuity

Carry the reasoning forward.

Keep source links, methods, and review decisions with the context, so the next task can build on work that has already been examined.

Control

Define the task and its limits.

Specify which evidence is available, what remains disputed, and where a person must review the result.

Four documents become connected records. Select any record to inspect its evidence and relationships. On smaller screens, scroll the graph sideways or Tab through its records.

These counts describe this example, not product scale or performance. The full graph, temporal, and agent workflow remains in development.

Inspect the reference artifact

The knowledge stays useful as the task changes

Reusable context. Inspectable reasoning. Human review.

Models generate and interpret language. Our focus is the knowledge they work from: how it is structured, qualified, updated, and carried into the next task. That structure supports checking; it does not guarantee a correct answer.

Inside a capsule · design in development

Keep the evidence. Carry the context.

The capsule design separates source material, claims, relationships, and time. It also makes room for an expert’s methods and review decisions, so the next person can understand how an assessment was reached.

The goal is to make context reusable without losing its qualifications: who said what, what remains disputed, and what changed. Those records support review; they do not guarantee that an AI answer is correct.

Fictional case · proposed workflow

One case file. Five visible steps.

Follow a fictional cable through five illustrated stages. The records and counts are prepared examples, not live extraction results. The full integration is under development.
