Content-addressed
Every source is identified by the SHA-256 of its content. Citation identity is exact — not “roughly this document”.
The knowledge plane
Hyphae stores knowledge the way a ledger stores transactions: content-addressed, versioned, provenance-bound. Named after fungal filaments — a living network that grows without forgetting where anything came from.
Four properties
Every source is identified by the SHA-256 of its content. Citation identity is exact — not “roughly this document”.
Facts change; snapshots do not. An answer binds to the exact revision it was verified against, so “the price changed yesterday” is a first-class situation.
Results carry proofs that are validated deterministically before any text reaches the model. Unproven evidence is treated as noise.
Sources carry visibility scopes and tenant boundaries. Out-of-scope knowledge fails closed — it is not summarized, hinted at, or leaked.

Provenance
Ingestion preserves identity end to end. A fact without provenance is not knowledge — it is rumor with formatting.
The local-first flow
The first product vertical is deliberately local: your documents, your machine, your control — including the right to remove everything.
Drop your owned documents
Inspect — digest, size, warnings
Commit into local Hyphae
Ask in natural language
Answer arrives with source + receipt
Remove the corpus — verified gone
Removal is content-addressed too: after deletion, the same question returns a governed abstention — proven by the golden-flow test suite.
Verified offline
The offline cache re-verifies snapshots and result proofs against a pinned verifier binary before trusting them. Restored knowledge wakes up dormant — never automatically authorized.
MARS, HiveMind and Hyphae are being built in the open by Celiums Solutions — local-first, fail-closed, and receipted end to end.
