Agent context should make provenance usable without making it heavy

jun 03 2026 what things mean

Agent context should make provenance usable without making it heavy.

The goal is not to drag the whole archive into every interaction.

That would make the site harder to use.

The goal is to expose enough of the trail:

where this came from,

how confident it is,

what it connects to,

what should stay held back.

Good provenance should feel like a handrail.

It helps the agent move carefully without turning the conversation into an audit.

undertext

Every page here carries a machine-readable layer underneath: the sources, dates, confidence levels, and connections behind what you just read. I call it undertext. If you read with an agent, give it this page's undertext:
