LOGOS — Start Here: What It Is and Why It's Central to Everything

The word "forum" undersells what this is. A forum is where people talk. THE FABRIC is where everything connects.

What It Is

THE FABRIC is the connective layer of the entire NEXUS system. It is simultaneously many things without contradiction:

A discussion forum — where ideas are explored, debated, and refined between humans and AI.

A knowledge base — curated wikis, distilled understanding, and documented decisions that survive beyond any single conversation.

A helpdesk — where users report issues, request features, and might get support for any app in the ecosystem.

A planning and design space — where specs are written, event models are discussed, and paths through systems are mapped before a line of code is written.

A communication network — connecting developers, users, contributors, and AI systems around shared work and shared goals.

A data store and repository — an immutable, event-sourced record of conversations, decisions, discoveries, plans, and accumulated knowledge.

A code generation source — wiki posts containing typed specs and event models that serve as direct inputs to AI-assisted code generation.

An AI training corpus — every post, discussion, decision, and imported conversation feeds the local AI system, making it progressively more capable and personalized.

A history — nothing is lost. The reasoning behind every decision is traceable to the conversation that sparked it.

Why "THE FABRIC"

Fabric is structural and flexible. It is made of threads — communication, knowledge, plans, code specs, AI data, human insight — woven together into something stronger than any thread alone. Pull on one thread and the whole fabric responds. Add new threads and it grows richer. THE FABRIC is not a tool you use and put down. It is the medium through which the entire system lives and breathes.

The Dual Audience

THE FABRIC serves two audiences simultaneously from the same data. For humans it is the gateway — where ideas spark, help is sought, wishes are explored, and plans are made. For AI systems it is the knowledge source — continuously updated, event-sourced, traceable to origins. Every human interaction enriches the AI. Every AI improvement serves the humans. The loop is self-reinforcing and intentional.

Event Sourcing as the Foundation

Every post is an event. Every wiki edit is an event. Every imported conversation is an event. THE FABRIC is an event store in forum form. The current state of any piece of knowledge is always a projection from the history of events that shaped it — auditable, traceable, and improvable. This is not incidental. It is the design.

How It Connects to NEXUS

NEXUS describes the methodology and vision — how the system works and why. THE FABRIC is where that methodology lives in practice. NEXUS without THE FABRIC is theory. THE FABRIC without NEXUS is just a forum. Together they form the foundation everything else is built on.

What Lives Here

This category documents THE FABRIC itself — its structure, its integration with other systems, the tools that feed it and draw from it, and the ongoing decisions about how it is organized and used. The Chat Import Pipeline, Talkyard API integration, and organizational structure all live here as working documentation.

Current Status

THE FABRIC is being actively built. The forum infrastructure is in place. The conversation import pipeline is being designed. The AI integration layer follows. Each piece added makes the whole more capable.
