Notes

The theoretical register of the Commonplace KB: transferable claims, mechanisms, definitions, and synthesis about how agent-operated knowledge bases — LLM wikis — should be built and operated. This is the theory the rest of the repository runs on; the methodology these notes describe is what agents follow to maintain this wiki.

The central thread is deploy-time learning — how deployed AI systems improve through structured knowledge that accumulates alongside the code — developed through the constraining, distillation, and discovery operations.

  • tags index — the top-level hub: tag READMEs, foundations, evaluation, and gaps
  • links index — the linking methodology: semantics, navigation, contracts

What belongs here

A claim earns a note when it changes how someone would build or operate a knowledge base. Notes carry a maturity mark (seedling → current) and link to the sources or notes they rest on, so a reader knows how much weight a claim holds. Titles are assertions, not topics, so following links reads as a chain of reasoning. Pure pattern-recording without explanation belongs in kb/log.md, not here.
