Indexed facts and relationships retrieved to supply context to a mission.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Semantic memory is commonly distinguished from memory for specific episodes. This entry concerns indexed propositions and relationships. Its storage and retrieval behavior must be assessed as an information system, not inferred from the cognitive label.
Indexed facts and relationships retrieved to supply context to a mission.
Represent a fact as (subject, relation, object, scope, source). Query ranking may combine lexical match, vector similarity, recency, and source quality; weights and normalization must be reported by the implementation.

at a glance.
Extract a proposition
Indexed facts and relationships retrieved to supply context to a mission.
Index relations and sources
Represent a fact as (subject, relation, object, scope, source). Query ranking may combine lexical match, vector similarity, recency, and source quality; weights and normalization must be reported by the implementation.
Retrieve scoped knowledge
Retrieve scoped knowledge. Semantic memory is commonly distinguished from memory for specific episodes. This entry concerns indexed propositions and relationships. Its storage and retrieval behavior must be assessed as an information system, not inferred from the cognitive label.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
Facts and relationships can be stored and retrieved in bounded memory services; retrieval similarity is not truth confidence.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

The Adaptive Nature of Human Categorization
John R. Anderson · Psychological Review 98(3), 409–429
A probabilistic account of categorization and retrieval from prior instances; GenOS retrieval scores are software rankings, not a cognitive model validated by this paper.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
