Foundational Core

Athena

The only place in the stack where a fact earns confidence 1.0 — sub-millisecond, deterministic, audit-grade.

Athena is the deterministic knowledge graph backbone of the Babadook ecosystem. It builds, maintains, and queries concrete knowledge graphs from validated structured data — no probabilistic inference in the core, no guesswork masquerading as truth.

Entities carry globally unique 128-bit identities. Relationships are first-class citizens with mandatory provenance (Direct, Inferred, Merged, Transformed). Every merge is deterministic: same inputs, same order, byte-identical output across runs, machines, and versions.

Athena ships dual runtime modes simultaneously — embedded in-process for sub-millisecond entity lookup, full server runtime with mTLS, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket for products that need network boundaries. Both modes share one ontology state, one query cache, one provenance substrate.

44+ graph algorithms. OWL 2 EL reasoning in pure Rust. Quadtemporal provenance on every fact. Hybrid queries that fuse deterministic facts with heuristic pattern discovery — ranked by confidence, monotonic under new evidence.

Athena stores verified structure, not live estimation. It does not ingest raw feeds, run probabilistic inference in the core, or replace your operational database. It is the memory layer — the place facts go after validation, resolution, and merge discipline. Without polyMAX to normalize sources, KAOS to gate probabilistic linkage, and fullSET to surface patterns worth persisting, Athena has nothing worth storing at confidence 1.0.

Deterministic Knowledge Graph Construction

Builds graphs from validated structured sources with deduplication, normalization, schema enforcement, and conflict resolution — deterministic algorithms only, IndexMap iteration order where HashMap would leak.

Entity Resolution Engine

Exact ID equality, composite keys, Levenshtein and Jaro-Winkler fuzzy matching, HNSW HDC candidate generation, and KAOS Fellegi-Sunter fallback — all gated by deterministic merge before anything persists.

Connection Analyzer

Dijkstra, A*, BFS, DFS all-paths, Tarjan SCC, Kruskal MST, Brandes betweenness, closeness, eigenvector centrality, PageRank, Louvain, label propagation, Jaccard and cosine similarity — 44+ algorithms in one in-process library.

Deterministic Query Engine

Cost-based planner translating Athena query language into geomDB SQL, Cypher, OQL, and SPARQL with deterministic execution order. Cross-modality routing via Q6 TripleBoom at p99 ≤50ms.

OWL 2 EL Ontology Management

Pure-Rust Description Logic reasoner — TBox subsumption, ABox consistency, role chains, disjointness axioms. Ontology persisted via geomDB M9; closure cached in M8 semantic cache with dependency-tracked invalidation.

Mandatory Provenance on Every Relationship

Direct, Inferred, Merged, Transformed provenance enum on every relationship. Verified facts at confidence 1.0 via MUKR verify_claim workflow. No relationship exists without recorded origin.

Quadtemporal Knowledge Tracking

Bi-temporal baseline plus relationship valid-time and system-time axes. Domain-specific temporal dimensions (calibration validity, campaign run time, verification revision, observed-at) declared per consumer table.

Hybrid Deterministic-Heuristic Queries

Fuses Athena verified facts with fullSET heuristic inferences in a single result set. Confidence-weighted ranking with monotonic combiner — adding evidence never decreases confidence of an existing verified fact.

Embedded Sub-Millisecond Runtime

athena-engine crate compiled in-process via Arc<AthenaEngine> — p99 entity lookup ≤800µs at 100M entities. PTHash MPH index, concurrent hot cache, flat snapshot read path. Primary mode for Lynceus observability hot path.

Full Server Runtime Protocol Suite

mTLS-terminated HTTPS, WebSocket subscriptions, REST, GraphQL, and gRPC/protobuf — matching Timeline-X, KAOS, and Moira reference peer set. Server entity lookup p99 ≤5ms at ≥50K QPS.

Knowledge Indexer

Graph adjacency indices via geomDB native indexing plus tantivy full-text layer for property values. Lock-free reads against Searcher snapshots; parallel cross-index writes.

Property Graph Schema Management

Entity types, relationship taxonomy, property constraints, and validation rules enforced at ingestion. Schema evolution preserves identity via geomDB __geomdb_anchor_id anchors across version chains.

Multi-Tenant Isolation by Construction

Tenant identity from CRTL identity chain — no internal tenant table. Per-tenant semaphores, geomDB per-modality isolation, namespace grammar tenant_<scope>__athena__<capability>. Shared SaaS uses leading partition keys for RLS-as-pruning.

Seven Deployment Class Support

self_hosted, BYOC, managed_dedicated, shared_saas, hybrid, airgapped, edge_constrained — each with explicit per-class rules for storage posture, networking, schema design, and allowed features. No v1 scope-down.

ARGUS-Gated Privileged Mutations

Ontology axiom edits, merge decisions, entity deletions, and ownership record changes require ARGUS approval classes — self_approved, dual_approved, or recovery_critical. Every mutation emits immutable audit entries.

Graceful Query Resolution

Athena never returns query impossible — resolves to the safest viable interpretation, explains the delta, and allows override. Pedagogical error messages with progressive disclosure across SDK levels.

Cross-Product Integration Manifests

Section-27-compliant subset declarations per consumer — DXP eight API operations across sixteen call sites, MUKR six-method AthenaClient trait, Lynceus five integration structs, MAXACOR inverted ownership fact store.

SDK Coverage with CRTL Bootstrap

Rust, Python, Java, Go, and TypeScript SDKs. Server mode initializes via POST /crtl/client/bootstrap — signed endpoint bundles, no hard-coded URLs. Embedded mode uses direct Arc<AthenaEngine> references.
