Prism
The retrieval substrate
StatusBuildIn build
01What it does
Prism is the estate's retrieval substrate, a delete-and-rebuild, read-only projection of the Brain and vault fusing lexical/semantic search (BM25, pluggable embedder) with the estate's own hand-authored wikilink graph, so any seat or tool can find what's already known and how it was reached.
Without it, "has this already been ruled?" is answered by grep and memory, and an already-settled question gets re-queued to the owner instead of being dropped or corrected against ground truth.
03Who it works with
A substrate member is called, never run. Everything below reads its declared contract at the moment it needs it, which is why it has no step of its own in any workflow.
- ConcordFeeds (consumer, not owner)Concord's reconcilers use Prism to find the spec/code/solution statements a drift check has to compare
- ManifoldOperates (precedent/future graduation)Prism's embedder seam mirrors Manifold's provider shape, designed to graduate into it once Manifold grows an embedding contract
- The coordinating seat / any seatFeedsPremise-gate retrieval checks read Prism before a question or decision reaches the owner
