Inference
8 pages filed under Decisions › inference. A decision is a choice made for the project, with its context, its options and what it affects.
| Decision | Date | First line | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bounded neighbourhood | 2026-09-12 | Co-occurrence is accumulated per paragraph and never materialised as a full matrix. Only the fifty best neighbours of each node are kept, ranked by count then by identifier. | 50 |
| Confidence and provenance on every link | 2026-09-12 | Every link carries a confidence between 0 and 1 and at least one provenance. When methods agree, confidences combine and every provenance is kept. The first version stores the score, orders mentions with it, and does not show it. | 9 |
| Declarative profile | 2026-09-12 | The meta-model is a YAML profile validated by a schema. The engine knows only types, attributes, relations and scores. Adding a type or a relation pair is a profile change, never a code change. | 15 |
| Keyword page threshold | 2026-09-12 | A keyword page exists from three occurrences in at least two files; below that, the word is searchable but has no page. The threshold is configurable, and the build reports how many pages it generated and how many expressions it discarded. | 10 |
| Links are authoritative | 2026-09-12 | A markdown link to another note is the strongest relation the tool knows: confidence 1.00, above anything inferred, and a frontmatter reference comes next at 0.90. What an author wrote is never overturned by what the tool recognised: the relation of a mapped section or of a typed attribute stands, inference only fills what nobody declared, and the page tells a written link from a recognised word by the way it is drawn. A link to a missing file is an error, a link to a document attaches it, a link from a note to itself yields nothing, and several links to one target are one link with several provenances. | 20 |
