01 / AREAS OF RESEARCH

Connections that
make AI reliable.

From the meaning in our data to the way we learn and build, our research follows the connections.

01.1 / SEMANTIC LAYER & AGENTIC LAKEHOUSE

A shared language
for agentic AI.

We are building the semantic layer for an AI-native agentic lakehouse: connecting data, meaning, and provenance so agents can discover, reason, and act on a common foundation.

Based on QueryGraph.AI, in collaboration with CODATA and Japan’s IPA.

AI-NATIVE AGENTIC LAKEHOUSE

01 — From connected data to grounded action

BUILT IN COLLABORATION
01.2 / GRAPH PUBLISHING & EDUCATION

Knowledge you can
follow to its source.

First Pair turns books into connected research environments. Obsidian and Emacs Graph Books bring multidisciplinary anthologies into vaults, with cross-references that make evidence immediately verifiable.

Read Latin alongside English, or Italian with multiple aligned Russian and English translations. Learn through connected texts, AI-aided exploration, and hands-on music tutorials.

01.3 / COMPUTATIONAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Understanding the people
who build our world.

DevReal is building the first living graph of all developer activity and its related entities—connecting people, projects, talks, and ideas to study how software communities create and evolve.

Struct.fm brings this graph into conversation: a multimedia podcast connecting interviews and their references to the wider developer ecosystem.

03 / PUBLICATIONS & OPEN BOOKS

Read. Question.
Follow the evidence.

Research papers, mathematical tutorials, and open books. Ideas with their sources attached.
