Formalisms for Eventually Consistent Organizational Knowledge

Heterogeneous organizational sources of truth can be projected into versioned formal models, bridged through local ontologies, grounded into bounded domains, and checked asynchronously by multiple definitive solvers. The goal is not global proof of consistency. The operational target is zero detected inconsistencies under the active extraction and checking regime.

Incremental Datalog Conflict Detection with OPAM Metadata

Conflict detection for requirements needs a formal substrate that can update after small repository changes without rechecking the whole repository. This post proposes a restricted Datalog model, uses OPAM package metadata as a concrete benchmark, and reports a FlowLog run where incremental commits took 0.89 ms at p50 while batch recomputation took 783.6 ms at p50 over the same 30-commit window.

Higher-Order Agentic Loops

An agent loop is usually described as a practical control pattern: execute, observe, validate, revise, repeat. That framing is useful for building systems, but it hides a more basic question. If one agent loop can inspect and steer another agent loop, and another loop can inspect and steer that steering loop, do we get a genuine hierarchy of problem-solving power?
