Non-Goals

What EKOS deliberately is not.

EKOS is not:

• another vector database. It has an optional vector index for semantic search, but its core is a typed, evidenced graph.
• a general-purpose RAG framework. Retrieval exists to find objects; answers are assembled from typed evidence, not from pasted chunks.
• an autonomous agent. EKOS never acts on your systems. Agents consume it read-only.
• a replacement for source systems. It observes them and never writes back.
• a data warehouse. It stores knowledge about data assets, not the data.
• an LLM. The compiler is deterministic; LLMs are optional providers behind a trait.
• a generic document search engine. Documents are one source among many, compiled into the same model as code and schemas.

It also does not claim certainty it lacks: anything it cannot parse is recorded as an explicit Unmapped fact ("something is here, not yet understood") rather than dropped or guessed.
