Key technological protocols and points

What this part is for. Everything described so far in this book — the log, the listeners and doers, the Cells, the lines of reasoning — sits behind a genuinely small, closed surface: three roads in and out, a short list of named things you may ask the machine to do, and a short list of named things you may ask it to show you. This part is the reference to that surface: what it is, why keeping it this small matters for an analytical tool specifically, and the exact, complete lists — not samples — of what it currently offers.

The one-sentence version: you can only ever do three things to this machine from outside it — ask it about itself, tell it something new, or ask to see a computed view of what it already knows — and every single capability described anywhere else in this book is built entirely out of those three.

  1. 015.1 OverviewThree roads in and out of the machine, in plain words: one that asks about it, one that changes what it knows, one that reads it.
  2. 025.2 Analytical RationaleWhy a small, closed set of verbs matters for a tool meant to be trusted and repeated.
  3. 035.3 Functional SpecificationThe three roots in full, the complete ingest register, the complete projection register.
  4. 045.4 Technical ImplementationHow one request actually crosses from the wire to the machine and back, the route table, the catalogue.
