Understanding QNTX

QNTX is an attestation-based continuous intelligence system.

What This Is

It answers: "How do I build understanding that stays current?" For quick definitions, see the Glossary.

It has opinions about how intelligence systems should work:

The core primitive is the attestation: a signed, immutable claim of the form [Subject] is [Predicate] of [Context] by [Actor] at [Time].

Symbols (see Glossary)

Persistence, Sync coordination, and Plugin-provided services. The canvas and other workspaces run wherever you are, like on the tube; see: tube-journey.test.ts.

Plugins are separate processes that register capabilities. Core services — LLM inference, embeddings, vector search, full-text search — are all plugin-provided. The plugin infrastructure handles discovery, lifecycle, health, hot-swap, and restart.

The server adds persistence, plugin lifecycle management, and plugin-provided services.

The canvas (glyphs ⧉) is the primary interaction surface. A glyph is a composable unit of interaction — it can manifest as an editor, a chart, a search panel, a plugin control. Glyphs compose into compositions.

For visual and interface design principles, see Design Philosophy.

Configuration

QNTX treats configuration as a first-class citizen with full visibility and traceability into where set values originate from. See Configuration System.
