Four knowledge layers
Do not collapse them. Explore and the ontology catalog do not compete on the same axis.
| Layer | What it is | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Live operational graph | Recalculated snapshot (SQL queries) of what is happening | Console → Explore |
| Ontology catalog | RDF + SHACL + SPARQL catalog of a materialised graph | Ontology button → catalog explorer |
| Compiled code graph | Graph compiled from this repo's code | build artefact — not runtime truth |
| Episodic context | Episodic context | Agent private plane; governed publish still open |
Replacing Explore with the catalog explorer would swap an operations panel for a file viewer. They integrate underneath (SHACL engine, SPARQL); the Society Graph stays.
Live graph vocabulary is closed: vocabulary and SHACL checks run in the quality pipeline. A type emitted but not declared fails CI.
