Rule by rule, with the line of code that proves each: confirmed, corrected, or changed-under-you. Written against 10.4.3 plus this branch. Three rules moved since the draft was written against 10.4.1, and a reader built to the draft would be wrong about them: the identity-record count fix landed in 10.4.2 (the draft's open question 6 was already half-answered), the legacy denominator now heals itself in the background instead of lying for the life of the store, and counts.json is written atomically. Answers the six open questions, states which scalar a consumer may subtract an enumeration against (only the all-tier pair carrying the identity-record stamp with suspect false; the counted-tier scalars never), ratifies the torn-row and timestamp divergences — the timestamp one AGAINST this engine, which invents a Date.now() where a stored value is unreadable — and files six findings back, including that the spec's §4 code claim and §8.1 cause 2 are both out of date. Internal document: no frontmatter, not published. |

Brainy Documentation
The multi-dimensional AI database with Triple Intelligence — vector search, graph traversal, and metadata filtering in one unified API.
Quick Start
import { Brainy, NounType, VerbType } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// Add entities — data is embedded for semantic search, metadata is indexed for filtering
const id = await brain.add({
data: 'Revolutionary AI Breakthrough',
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: { category: 'technology', rating: 4.8 }
})
// Search with Triple Intelligence
const results = await brain.find({
query: 'artificial intelligence', // Semantic search (on data)
where: { rating: { greaterThan: 4.0 } }, // Metadata filter
connected: { from: authorId, depth: 2 } // Graph traversal
})
