Poesis
Definition Blackboard Manager — Systemic Intelligence Engine.
The shared board where humans, AI, and tools think together about what your systems are — partial views composed into definition proposals.
Why it matters
What Definition Blackboard Manager changes for you.
The classic blackboard architecture, made a service: no single source — human, AI agent, or analysis tool — sees the whole system, so each posts what it knows onto shared panels as qualified, competing contributions. When the board is complete it is frozen, and its composition enters the Definition Manager as draft definitions — the blackboard is where the collective thinking happens; the governed lifecycle is where the deciding happens.
The whole picture, from every partial view.
A code indexer knows the call graph, a scanner knows the dependencies, an AI infers the intent, an engineer remembers the history — none knows everything. The board is where those partial views meet: competing identifications side by side, each labeled with its confidence and its origin.

Thinking here, deciding there.
The board is a deliberation space, not an approval gate: when sourcing completes it is frozen, and what was composed enters the Definition Manager as drafts — where the governed lifecycle decides. Exploration stays free and reproducible; governance stays strict, in one place.

You can always answer “why is this in the model?”
Every contribution and every freeze is kept as a permanent record — each definition traces back to the board it was composed from: who proposed what, from which source, with what confidence. Sourcing history that cannot be rewritten.

Features
What Definition Blackboard Manager does.
KS Contributions management RESTful API
A RESTful API for knowledge sources to declare panels and post schema-validated contributions — collaborative sourcing with server-owned structure.
KS Contributions lifecycle enforcement
OPEN → SEALED → BYTE_STABLE — sealed boards are immutable, and the contribution stream is byte-stable for reproducible promotion.
KS Contributions retention
Every contribution and its provenance envelope is retained — an append-only, auditable record of how each definition was sourced.
Roadmap
