It provides an immutable, value-interned RDF 1.2 dataset with triple terms, reifiers, and base-direction literals; native codecs for Turtle, TriG, N-Triples, N-Quads, RDF/XML, TriX, HexTuples, JSON-LD, and YAML-LD; W3C RDFC-1.0 canonicalization; a SPARQL 1.1/1.2 parser, algebra, and governed evaluator; SHACL Core, SHACL-SPARQL, and SHACL-AF validation; ShEx 2.1; entailment regimes from RDFS through OWL 2 RL to an OWL 2 DL tableau, each returning a reasoning report; deterministic full-text search, float-free GeoSPARQL 1.1, and embedding nearest-neighbour search answered from SPARQL in-process, so an RDF project no longer needs a PostgreSQL instance beside its triple store; and the GTS single-file, content-addressed graph transport. Behavior is gated by the W3C SPARQL, SHACL, shexTest, OWL 2, and RDFC-1.0 suites and by frozen cross-language GTS conformance vectors. *(Rust / Python / WebAssembly / C; active)* - [Logit Loom](https://github.com/paudley/logit-loom) — Rust toolkit for observing, transforming, steering, stopping, resuming, and accounting for token generation. Logit Loom provides backend-neutral contracts for ordered logit transforms, exact-byte token observers, bounded generation controls, content-bound plans and receipts, plus a llama.cpp adapter with identity-bound checkpoints and explicitly scoped steering. *(Rust; active)* - [gmeow](https://github.com/paudley/gmeow) — Local Gmail intelligence for agents and automation. Loopback REST + MCP over Gmail, backed by PostgreSQL, semantic search, attachment sidecars, local object storage, and a knowledge graph. Built for trusted single-user local systems rather than hosted mailbox ingestion. *(Python; active)* - [gmeow-ontology](https://github.com/Blackcat-Informatics/gmeow-ontology) — GMEOW — the Global Metadata and Entity Ontology for the Web — is an RDF 1.2-native ontology engine for machine and human minds. It treats LLM outputs, human assertions, observations, and institutional facts as attributed, revisable claims with provenance, confidence, evidence, temporal scope, standpoints, reasoning traces, and defeaters. Its flagship use is grounded agent memory: store, recall, and revise without collapsing disagreement or deleting audit history. Version 0.2.0 ships one engine as three products: a native Rust gmeow CLI, a grounded-memory MCP server, and a content-addressed, append-only GTS ai-package with Python, Rust, Go, and TypeScript engines. Canonical self-contained slices project into OWL, SHACL, JSON-LD, schema.org, citation, and Crossref deposit forms and align across the broader linked-data ecosystem. *(Rust / Python / RDF 1.2; active)* - [gmeow-gts](https://github.com/Blackcat-Informatics/gmeow-gts) — GTS — Graph Transport Substrate. A single-file, content-addressed, append-only transport for RDF 1.2 graphs and the binaries they reference. GTS files are CBOR Sequence logs with deterministic fold semantics, BLAKE3 frame chains, optional COSE signatures/encryption, suppression-based revision, and cross-engine conformance across Rust, Python, Go, and TypeScript. It is the primary distribution method for GMEOW, but it is ontology-independent and does not require GMEOW. *(Rust / Python / Go / TypeScript; active)* - [coding-ethos](https://github.com/paudley/coding-ethos) — Policy-as-code enforcement for AI coding agents. MCP server + CEL policies + git hooks + SARIF + static-analysis guardrails so an autonomous agent can't ship code that fails your team's standards. *(Go; active)* - [ai-notes](https://github.com/paudley/ai-notes) — Working notebook for local-model experimentation, ML papers worth tracking, and small reusable bits of inference plumbing. Public so the notes serve as their own changelog. *(Shell; active)* - [nonlinear-semantic-graphs](https://github.com/paudley/nonlinear-semantic-graphs) — Discovering emergent knowledge-graph relations in high-order semantic vector spaces — manifold learning + spectral analysis applied to LLM embeddings to surface relations that aren't explicit in the source corpus. *(Python; research)* - [lru_cache](https://github.com/paudley/lru_cache) — Fast, thread-safe Least-Recently-Used cache as a C++ template, with a comprehensive unit-test suite. First written in 2004 and still useful — the kind of small library that just needs to work. *(C++; maintained)* ### Archive / older projects - [core_data](https://github.com/paudley/core_data) — Docker-managed PostgreSQL setup for local development — opinionated defaults, sensible volume layout, ready in one command. Built because every project re-litigates this. - [pyqa_lint](https://github.com/paudley/pyqa_lint) — Opinionated quality-assurance harness for Python projects. A Typer-based CLI that bundled ruff, mypy, pytest-coverage, security scanners, and dependency audits behind one verb. Superseded by coding-ethos, which generalises the same idea to multi-language policy-as-code. - [git-ai-reporter](https://github.com/paudley/git-ai-reporter) — Git-driven LLM analysis. Watched your commit history and kept CHANGELOG / NEWS files current automatically. Superseded by the broader policy-as-code approach in coding-ethos. - [e](https://github.com/paudley/e) — Golang error-handling extensions with structured-error support. Stack-traceable, wrappable, JSON-serialisable. - [colorout](https://github.com/paudley/colorout) — Golang colour wrappers for prettifying spew dump output. Tiny utility; surprisingly handy. - [tsmdailyreport](https://github.com/paudley/tsmdailyreport) — TSM Daily Report for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. Now archive — kept for historical reference; TSM is no longer the right tool for the job. - [ar-ramblings](https://github.com/paudley/ar-ramblings) — A long-form walk through the Active Record pattern using PHP — written when ORM design was still a contested topic. Archive value as a teaching artefact. ## Publications - **Emergent Knowledge Graphs from High-Order Semantic Spaces** (2025-10-01) - In: Working paper · Blackcat Informatics Inc.
