SKC Architecture
SKC separates source representation, canonical semantic state, compressed semantic core and reconstructed state.
Pipeline
Section titled “Pipeline”Source ↓Parse / Normalize ↓Semantic Graph ↓Canonicalization ↓Canonical Semantic State ↓Core Extraction ↓Semantic Core ↓Reconstruction ↓Reconstructed Graph ↓ValidationLayer 1 — Source
Section titled “Layer 1 — Source”The original knowledge representation.
This may contain redundancy, ordering differences or representation details that are not semantically material.
Layer 2 — Semantic graph
Section titled “Layer 2 — Semantic graph”Knowledge is expressed through explicit semantic objects and relations.
The graph separates semantic structure from incidental source formatting.
Layer 3 — Canonical state
Section titled “Layer 3 — Canonical state”Canonicalization creates a stable representation for equivalent semantic states under a defined contract.
Layer 4 — Semantic core
Section titled “Layer 4 — Semantic core”The semantic core contains the reduced representation from which the target semantic state should remain reconstructable.
Layer 5 — Reconstruction
Section titled “Layer 5 — Reconstruction”The semantic core is expanded into a reconstructed state.
Layer 6 — Validation
Section titled “Layer 6 — Validation”Validation compares the reconstructed state with the original canonical state.
Design objective
Section titled “Design objective”The target is not:
smallest possible output
The target is:
smallest useful semantic representation that still satisfies the defined reconstruction and equivalence requirements.
