Per CLAUDE.md "every workflow lives behind a make target," `aborist` isn't on PATH outside the venv. Add `make query Q="<question>"` and `make query-dry Q="..."` so the user-facing entry point is a make invocation, not a venv path. make query Q="What is anarcho-capitalism?" make query-dry Q="..." # skip the LLM, return context only Override QUERY_TOP_K=N to widen/narrow the source set. |

aborist
An arborist for trees and forests of cross-linked information.
Aborist ingests documents into a content-addressed, Merkle-committed store. Every
document carries a URI for backtrack and cross-link. Search hooks return hits with
declared audit modes (STRICT / HYBRID / VISUAL) so callers never overclaim
what a result actually proves.
Design
Aborist implements the runtime spec from Merkle-AGI v9.8 / Merkle Providence
Reverse RAG. The 8-dim admissibility key (source_root, question_hash,
model_profile_hash, conversation_hash, governance_policy_hash,
schema_version, canonicalization_version, chunking_version) plus
falsification state ensures cached records are never reused under drift.
Two layered document kinds:
- surface — diverse ingested content (full chunks, FTS-indexed)
- core — distilled records (haiku/equation/snippet) Merkle-signed back to
source surface roots via
derivations
Reversible eviction via chunk tier ∈ {hot, warm, cold}. Cold = leaf hash
- URI only; rehydratable from URI, identity verifiable via leaf hash.
Quick start
make all # bootstrap + fetch + ingest + verify + stats
make search Q='…'
