Mnemosyne

Introduction

What Mnemosyne is, and what actually runs today

Mnemosyne is a company brain you run on your own infrastructure. It curates your documents once into an anchored, verified knowledge graph; answers only with grounded citations checked outside the model; enforces need-to-know at key-wrap time; and keeps a tamper-evident record of everything. These pages explain how — and, next to every capability, say plainly whether it is shipped, in progress, planned, or still research.

Curate once; prove every answer. The two guarantees live in the substrate, not the model: a claim with no anchor is blocked, and a source you cannot unwrap never reaches the model at all. This illustrates the mechanism — it is not a live view of a running system.

How to read these docs

Every capability below carries an honest status. We would rather show you the boundary of what is built than imply more than runs — for a buyer paid to be skeptical, that is the point.

Integrity & audit

Timechain — tamper-evident audit chains

Shipped

A tamper-evident record of every ingest, query, retrieval and answer — change one sealed block and the whole chain says so.

External anchoring (Bitcoin/OpenTimestamps + optional Solana)

In progress

The chain's root is published into Bitcoin, so a root already there cannot be un-published — even by someone who owns the box and its keys.

Sealer-key rotation with handover chain

Shipped

The block-sealing key can rotate without invalidating any history, and no key can be spliced in without the outgoing key's signed consent.

Timechain Explorer

Shipped

Browse the tamper-evident chain yourself — every block, every anchor, no key required, sealed content stays sealed.

Security & access

ACL Lattice (DOMINATES predicate)

Shipped

Access is a lattice, not a flat list — a reader must out-rank the level, hold every compartment, and clear every caveat, and it is checked when the key is wrapped.

Load-boundary governance authority

Shipped

Who may install an access-policy change is decided where the chain is read, not only where it is written — so no back-door write can grant itself the encryption gate.

Key-transparency log (identity & key management)

Shipped

Every clearance grant, revocation, and key event is a signed entry on an anchored log — so who could read what, and since when, is answered by replaying the chain, not by trusting a config file.

Master key off disk

Shipped

The keys that unlock everything are never written to disk in the clear — a stolen disk yields wrapped keys with nothing to unwrap them.

Envelope encryption & no-plaintext-at-rest

In progress

Data at rest is encrypted under a key scoped to its full label-set — with two known gaps we name openly, both closed before any real customer data is ingested.

Opaque content-free identifiers

Planned

Identifiers that leak nothing — a stolen id is a hash, decodable only by a cleared operator holding the key.

Semantic-leakage / aggregation gate

Research

Blocking not just direct disclosure but inference toward a restricted fact — a three-check frame gate plus a human-ratification ratchet.

Breach-contained and fabrication-blocked under model compromise

In progress

Fool the AI, and your data is still safe — the model is untrusted by design, so a compromised model still cannot invent a fact or leak one across compartments.

Cognition

Out-of-model grounding + clearance + entailment gate

In progress

Every claim in an answer must resolve to a source the requester is cleared to see — and that check runs outside the model, so fooling the model does not move it.

Compounding knowledge (curate-once vs RAG)

Shipped

We curate your sources once into a verified, interlinked graph that compounds — unlike retrieval that re-derives a raw-chunk answer from scratch on every query.

ACT-R retrieval ranking

Shipped

Retrieval is ranked by a cognitive model of memory — spreading activation over the knowledge graph — not bare vector similarity.

Learning

Self-learning agent (firewalled tiered learning)

In progress

The system gets measurably better with use — and learning can only tune ranking and action-selection, never the security gate.

Ingestion

Ingestion (standard files + layout; OCR)

In progress

Standard company files are parsed, mandatorily clearance-tagged, and sealed on the way in — labels are final before the first byte is anchored.

Deployment

On-prem / air-gap sovereignty

In progress

A company brain you run on your own infrastructure — no data leaves your building, and an air-gapped deployment has nowhere for a leak to go.

Managed cloud — single-tenant, we operate it

Planned

A private, single-tenant instance we run for you — one customer per box, never shared, and you can leave with your data any time.

Zero-access managed (confidential computing)

Planned

We run your instance and still cannot read it — your keys unlock it only inside an attested enclave the host cannot see into.

The deep dive explains each mechanism in detail; Install & run covers on-prem and managed; Company & project has the roadmap. Everything renders from one source of truth, so what you read stays true as the product grows.
