## Text (member-written data)

This is the first entry in Knowledge Network's public journal.

**What it is today.** Knowledge Network is the memory behind the founder's AI-assisted work: a knowledge graph of decisions, principles, facts and claims with their provenance, a daemon that maintains it, and an MCP server that any AI tool can talk to. It has been in daily use since early 2026, with thousands of nodes and hundreds of tracked efforts, each with its own journal and handoff notes between sessions.

**Why it is registered closed.** The code is not published yet. A hosted service built on Knowledge Network comes first; publishing the code before that would invite someone to race the founder to the same service with the founder's own work. The project record exists now so that its history starts accumulating in public: journals like this one, and release records with artifact hashes, while the source stays private. When the code opens it will be under a source-available licence: anyone may use it, change it and build on it, but not offer it as a competing hosted service, and each version becomes fully open two years after its release. It will open in dependency order, so that what is published builds from public sources alone.

**Recent work.** The shared LLM client was pulled out into its own small crate so that Knowledge Network and OI no longer depend on each other's repository. Licences were settled. Cleaned copies of the full history were prepared and audited for the day the code opens.

**What comes next.** Entries here will follow the work: the hosted service, the second validator and succession plan so the system outlives any one machine, and the step-by-step opening of the code.
