Library of Alexandria
The data management layer. Classification, sovereignty, lifecycle, and cataloging: the record of truth every other layer reasons from.
AI is only as trustworthy as the data it reasons from.
One catalog of record
Documents, datasets, and knowledge bases registered with an owner, a version, and an explicit record-of-truth designation. Copies are marked as copies.
Classification at the source
Sensitivity labels assigned where data is cataloged and honored everywhere: WALDO enforces them, Mori respects them, MENTOR trains within them.
Sovereignty by construction
Data location and movement rules are properties of the record. Data that must not leave a boundary cannot be routed across it.
Content-addressed integrity
Every artifact is hashed at registration (SHA-256). A system can verify it is reasoning over the authentic version, not a stale or altered copy.
Provenance and lifecycle
Where each record came from, who changed it, what superseded it, and when it expires. Answers can cite the exact version used.
Ask before you answer
Agents and models query the Library for the current authoritative version before responding, grounding output on truth instead of proximity.
