Quipu: A Governed Bitemporal Knowledge Graph Store
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.16813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agents now write knowledge graphs, but knowledge-graph stores still carry defaults set when humans curated them: accept writes now and clean later, keep one time axis or none, treat every writer's facts as equally trustworthy, and leave governance to dashboards and middleware. These four defaults are individually convenient and jointly untenable under agent workloads. We present Quipu, an embeddable store that inverts all four: no fact enters except through a gate whose predicates evaluate the pending post-state; data, trust labels, verdicts, and
