Brains & grounding

Wiki & graph

The wiki is what makes a brain more than a pile of files. Here is how raw sources become connected pages, and how the graph grows between them.

From source to page#

Each source is read end to end — a PDF is parsed, a web article is stripped to its text, a video is transcribed, an image is read with OCR. Ounie then writes a clean Markdown page from that text: a clear title, a readable summary, and links to the ideas it mentions. The page is what you read and what answers are drawn from; the original source stays intact behind it.

Wikilinks#

Inside each page, important people, places, and concepts are written as [[wikilinks]]. When two pages mention the same idea, they link to the same concept page — so a topic that appears across many sources gathers its own page over time. This is how knowledge compounds: every new source strengthens the web instead of adding to a stack.

The graph#

The graph is the visual form of those links — pages as nodes, wikilinks as edges. Explore it from the dashboard to see how a brain is connected and to spot relationships you did not plan. The same structure does quiet work when you ask: an answer can follow a link to a neighboring page and bring in context a plain search would miss.

Editing a page#

You are the editor. If a synthesized page reads wrong or misses something, open it and edit the Markdown directly. Saving re-derives its links and re-indexes that one page — no re-processing of the whole brain, and your raw sources are never changed.

Editing changes only the wiki layer. The source the page came from is preserved, so you can always trace a claim back to where it started. See Asking for how citations resolve to pages.
