TACITUS builds source-grounded AI systems for policy, conflict analysis, institutional memory, and human-reviewed knowledge work.
The work is organized around one question:
How do you turn messy human material into context that analysts and AI agents can both trust?
That means documents, books, transcripts, policies, negotiations, datasets, and expert notes should become typed, reviewable objects with provenance, temporal structure, graph relationships, and clear human approval paths.
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| PRAXIS | The visible workbench for analysts, reviewers, writing, context review, and handover. |
| DIALECTICA | The capsule and ontology engine: ingestion, source packs, schemas, graph outputs, review gates, and PRAXIS-ready context packages. |
| AGON | The evidence and conflict engine: actors, claims, commitments, contradictions, friction patterns, and source-span verification. |
| KAIROS | The temporal engine: events, commitments, episodes, deadlines, ordering, and Allen-style temporal relations. |
| TCGC | The benchmark layer for measuring structural conflict reasoning on typed graph output instead of prose summaries. |
The current flagship public repos are maintained under Giulio Catanzariti's profile while the organization profile is being consolidated:
| Project | What it shows |
|---|---|
| DIALECTICA v3 | Rust-first context capsule engine for PRAXIS. |
| AGON | Rust conflict-intelligence engine for evidence-backed conflict scenes. |
| KAIROS | Temporal knowledge graph engine for policy and crisis chronology. |
| TCGC | Open benchmark for structural conflict reasoning. |
| TACITUS Knowledge Pipeline | Publishable notebook/reference pipeline for evidence-grounded graph reasoning. |
| CONCORDIA | Hackathon prototype for real-time voice AI mediation. |
This organization currently contains early public references, historical prototypes, and upstream forks used during the first TACITUS build phase. The active public portfolio is linked above while the organization is being consolidated into the canonical home.
| Repository | Status |
|---|---|
| DIALECTICA_by_TACITUS_A2 | Historical Python reasoning-core prototype. Superseded by DIALECTICA v3. |
| Open_Starting_Kpipeline_TACITUS | Historical open knowledge-pipeline notebook. Superseded by the polished public pipeline repo. |
| AGON-humanfriction-detection-TACITUS | Archived early AGON/human-friction fork. Superseded by the active AGON repo. |
| regulatory-intelligence-assistant-4TACITUS | Archived regulatory-intelligence reference fork. |
| semantica4tacitus | Archived semantic-layer reference fork. |
| cozo4TACITUS | Archived graph/vector database reference fork. |
- Evidence first: every important output should point back to sources.
- Human-gated by default: expert review, rejection, editing, and promotion are first-class product flows.
- Typed context over loose chat: schemas, graphs, receipts, and capsules carry work across systems.
- Policy and conflict aware: time, contradiction, institutional memory, and contested claims are core data, not edge cases.
- Small product surface, strong substrate: make the user experience simple and make the contracts, fixtures, engines, and adapters rigorous.
