Most AI demos are impressive until you look under the hood. Ours are different—every answer is grounded in a knowledge graph, every recommendation has a reason, every conclusion has a proof.
| Demo | What It Proves | Why It Matters |
|------|----------------|----------------|
| Digital Twin | IoT + OWL reasoning for smart buildings | Decisions with SHA-256 proof trails |
| Music Recommendation | Graph similarity, not vibes | "Slayer for Metallica" because thrash metal lineage, not random |
| Self-Driving Car | Explainable perception decisions | Every brake/accelerate is SPARQL-derived |
| BRAIN Fraud Detection | Cross-database federation | KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery in one query |
| Euroleague Analytics | Sports stats with deductive reasoning | 111 observations → 222 derived facts |
The difference? When we say "Megadeth is similar to Metallica," we can show you the graph path: same genre (thrash metal), shared influence (Black Sabbath), 1-hop distance. Not a probability. A derivation.
`bash
git clone https://github.com/gonnect-uk/hypermind-examples.git
cd hypermind-examples && npm install
npm run digital-twin # IoT + Datalog rules
npm run music # Graph-based recommendations
npm run brain # Fraud + Underwriting
npm run self-driving-car # Explainable AV decisions
`
All demos verified: hypermind-examples

`
That's real SPARQL, real results, real proofs. No mocking. No hardcoding. Just npm install and it works.
All demos verified and passing. See hypermind-examples.
| Demo | Tests | Pass Rate | What You'll See |
|------|-------|-----------|-----------------|
| Digital Twin | 13 | 100% | IoT sensors → Datalog rules → HVAC decisions with proofs |
| Music Recommendation | 14 | 93.3% | KG-grounded: "Slayer, Megadeth for Metallica" with graph paths |
| Self-Driving Car | 3 | 100% | Explainable AV: "Brake because pedestrian in crosswalk" |
| BRAIN Fraud | 5 | 100% | Cross-database: KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery |
| Euroleague Analytics | 18 | 100% | ThinkingReasoner: 111 obs → 222 derived facts |
| Boston Real Estate | 19 | 100% | OWL SymmetricProperty: adjacentTo auto-inferred |
| US Legal Case | 20 | 100% | Legal research with precedent chains |
What makes these different from typical demos:
- No mocking. Real SPARQL, real data, real results.
- Every recommendation explains WHY (not just WHAT)
- Proofs are SHA-256 hashes over canonical derivation chains
- LLM is optional—core reasoning is deterministic
Key Features Demonstrated:
- ThinkingReasoner with OWL property auto-detection
- RDF2Vec embeddings (384D, trained in-memory)
- HyperFederate (KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery)
- Cryptographic proofs (SHA-256 per derivation)
- Episodic memory for pattern matching

What if every AI conclusion came with a mathematical proof?
| Feature | Description | Performance |
|---------|-------------|-------------|
| HyperMindAgent | Complete agentic AI with built-in ThinkingReasoner | One class, full capabilities |
| ThinkingReasoner | Integrated deductive engine - auto-generates rules from ontology | 6+ rules from OWL properties |
| HyperFederate | KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery in single query | RPC Proxy for in-memory |
| Proof-Carrying Outputs | Cryptographic proofs via Curry-Howard | SHA-256 per derivation |
| Episodic Memory | Agent remembers and learns from past cases | Automatic pattern matching |
No need to create ThinkingReasoner separately - it's built into HyperMindAgent:
`javascript
const { GraphDB, HyperMindAgent, RpcFederationProxy } = require('rust-kgdb')
// 1. Create KGDB with BRAIN ontology (runs in WASM via RPC proxy)
const db = new GraphDB('http://brain.gonnect.ai/')
db.loadTtl(
@prefix brain:
@prefix owl:
# OWL properties auto-generate Datalog rules
brain:transfers a owl:TransitiveProperty .
brain:relatedTo a owl:SymmetricProperty .
# Sample fraud ring
brain:alice brain:transfers brain:bob .
brain:bob brain:transfers brain:carol .
brain:carol brain:transfers brain:alice ., null)
// 2. Create RpcFederationProxy - TWO MODES:
// • IN-MEMORY (WASM): GraphDB runs in-process via NAPI-RS (no server needed)
// • RPC MODE: Connect to HyperFederate K8s server for distributed queries
const federation = new RpcFederationProxy({
mode: 'inMemory', // 'inMemory' (WASM) or 'rpc' (K8s)
kg: db, // GraphDB for in-memory mode
connectors: { snowflake: { database: 'SNOWFLAKE_SAMPLE_DATA', schema: 'TPCH_SF1' } }
})
// For distributed K8s mode:
// const federation = new RpcFederationProxy({ mode: 'rpc', endpoint: 'http://localhost:30180' })
// 3. Create HyperMindAgent with ThinkingReasoner BUILT-IN
const agent = new HyperMindAgent({
name: 'fraud-detector',
kg: db,
apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY, // Optional: LLM
federate: federation
})
// 4. Natural language query - ThinkingReasoner AUTOMATICALLY:
// • Records observations from SPARQL/SQL results
// • Runs deductive reasoning with OWL rules
// • Generates cryptographic proofs
const result = await agent.call('Find circular payments and cross-ref with Snowflake TPCH')
// 5. Access reasoning results (all automatic)
console.log(result.answer) // Natural language answer
console.log(result.thinkingGraph) // Derivation chain
console.log(result.proofs) // Cryptographic proofs
console.log(result.reasoningStats) // { events, facts, rules, proofs }
`
Output (verified):
`
Answer: Found 3 circular payment patterns
Thinking Graph (Derivation Chain):
Step 1: [OBSERVATION] alice transfers bob
Step 2: [OBSERVATION] bob transfers carol
Step 3: [OBSERVATION] carol transfers alice
Step 4: [owl:TransitiveProperty] alice transfers carol
Reasoning Stats: { events: 3, facts: 6, rules: 4, proofs: 3 }
`
The key insight: call() automatically records observations and runs deduction. No manual observe() calls needed—every SPARQL/SQL result becomes ground truth for reasoning.
See ThinkingReasoner: Deductive AI for complete documentation.
HyperMindAgent now automatically generates SQL queries when SQL connectors are configured, enabling federated queries across KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery:
`javascript
const { GraphDB, HyperMindAgent, RpcFederationProxy } = require('rust-kgdb')
// Configure federation with SQL connectors
const db = new GraphDB('http://example.org/hybrid')
const federation = new RpcFederationProxy({
mode: 'inMemory',
kg: db,
connectors: {
snowflake: { database: 'PROD_DB', schema: 'SALES' },
bigquery: { projectId: 'my-project' }
}
})
// Agent detects connectors and generates appropriate queries
const agent = new HyperMindAgent({
kg: db,
federationProxy: federation,
connectors: federation.connectors,
apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
model: 'gpt-4o'
})
// Natural language → SQL with graph_search() CTE
const result = await agent.call('Find high-risk customers across all databases')
// LLM generates: WITH kg AS (SELECT * FROM graph_search('SELECT ?c ?score ...'))
// SELECT kg., sf., bq.* FROM kg JOIN snowflake.customers sf ...
`
Query Type Detection:
- SPARQL-only: No connectors configured → generates SPARQL
- SQL-only: Only SQL connectors → generates SQL with graph_search() CTE
- Hybrid: Both KGDB + SQL connectors → intelligently chooses based on query
Generated SQL Features:
- graph_search() CTE for embedding SPARQL in SQLsimilar_to()
- Semantic UDFs: , neighbors(), entity_type()
- Table functions: , vector_search(), shortest_path()
- Auto-detected table joins based on schema
The key difference from other AI frameworks:
| Aspect | LangChain/LlamaIndex | HyperMind + ThinkingReasoner |
|--------|---------------------|------------------------------|
| Query source | LLM generates SQL/SPARQL (error-prone) | Schema-aware generation (85.7% accuracy) |
| Data access | Single database | Federated: KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery |
| Reasoning | None (just retrieval) | Datalog deduction with fixpoint |
| Confidence | LLM-generated (fabricated) | Derived from proof chain |
| Audit trail | None | SHA-256 cryptographic proofs |
| Explainability | "Based on patterns..." | Step-by-step derivation chain |

Here's what actually happens in every enterprise AI project:
Your fraud analyst asks a simple question: "Show me high-risk customers with large account balances who've had claims in the past 6 months."
Sounds simple. It's not.
The customer data lives in Snowflake. The risk scores are computed in your knowledge graph. The claims history sits in BigQuery. The policy details are in a legacy Oracle database. And nobody can write a query that spans all four.
So the analyst does what everyone does:
1. Export customers from Snowflake to CSV
2. Run a separate risk query in the graph database
3. Pull claims from BigQuery into another spreadsheet
4. Spend 3 hours in Excel doing VLOOKUP joins
5. Present "findings" that are already 6 hours stale
This is the reality of enterprise data in 2025. Knowledge is scattered across dozens of systems. Every "simple" question requires a data engineering project. And when you finally get your answer, you can't trace how it was derived.
Now add AI to this mess.
Your analyst asks ChatGPT the same question. It responds confidently: "Customer #4521 is high-risk with $847,000 in account balance and 3 recent claims."
The analyst opens an investigation. Two weeks later, legal discovers Customer #4521 doesn't exist. The AI made up everything—the customer ID, the balance, the claims. The AI had no access to your data. It just generated plausible-sounding text.
This keeps happening:
- A lawyer cites "Smith v. Johnson (2019)" in court. That case doesn't exist.
- A doctor avoids prescribing "Nexapril" for cardiac patients. Nexapril isn't a real drug.
- A fraud analyst flags Account #7842 for money laundering. It belongs to a children's charity.
Every time, the same pattern: Data is scattered. AI can't see it. AI fabricates. People get hurt.
---
The root cause is simple: LLMs are language models, not databases. They predict plausible text. They don't look up facts.
When you ask "Has Provider #4521 shown suspicious patterns?", the LLM doesn't query your claims database. It generates text that sounds like an answer based on patterns from its training data.
The industry's response? Add guardrails. Use RAG. Fine-tune models.
These help, but they're patches:
- RAG retrieves similar documents - similar isn't the same as correct
- Fine-tuning teaches patterns, not facts
- Guardrails catch obvious errors, but "Provider #4521 has billing anomalies" sounds perfectly plausible
A real solution requires a different architecture. One built on solid engineering principles, not hope.
---
What if we're thinking about AI wrong?
Every enterprise wants the same thing: ask a question in plain English, get an accurate answer from their data. But we've been trying to make the AI know the answer. That's backwards.
The AI doesn't need to know anything. It just needs to know how to ask.
Think about what's actually happening when a fraud analyst asks: "Show me high-risk customers with large balances."
The analyst already has everything needed to answer this question:
- Customer data in Snowflake
- Risk scores in the knowledge graph
- Account balances in the core banking system
- Complete audit logs of every transaction
The problem isn't missing data. It's that no human can write a query that spans all these systems. SQL doesn't work on graphs. SPARQL doesn't work on Snowflake. And nobody has 4 hours to manually join CSVs.
The breakthrough: What if AI generated the query instead of the answer?
`
The Old Way (Dangerous):
Human: "Show me high-risk customers with large balances"
AI: "Customer #4521 has $847K and high risk score" <-- FABRICATED
The New Way (Verifiable):
Human: "Show me high-risk customers with large balances"
AI: Understands intent → Generates federated SQL:
SELECT kg.customer, kg.risk_score, sf.balance
FROM graph_search('...risk assessment...') kg
JOIN snowflake.ACCOUNTS sf ON kg.customer_id = sf.id
WHERE kg.risk_score > 0.8 AND sf.balance > 100000
Database: Executes across KGDB + Snowflake + BigQuery
Result: Real customers. Real balances. Real risk scores.
With SHA-256 proof hash for audit trail. <-- VERIFIABLE
`
The AI never touches your data. It translates human language into precise queries. The database executes against real systems. Every answer traces back to actual records.
rust-kgdb is not an AI that knows answers. It's an AI that knows how to ask the right questions—across every system where your knowledge lives.
---
For Enterprises:
- Zero hallucinations - Every answer traces back to your actual data
- Full audit trail - Regulators can verify every AI decision (SOX, GDPR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11)
- No infrastructure - Runs embedded in your app, no servers to manage
- Instant deployment - npm install and you're running
For Engineering Teams:
- 449ns lookups - 5-11x faster than RDFox (2.5-5µs), measured on commodity hardware
- 24 bytes per triple - 25% more memory efficient than competitors
- 132K writes/sec - Handle enterprise transaction volumes
- 94% recall on memory retrieval - Agent remembers past queries accurately
For AI/ML Teams:
- 85.7% SPARQL accuracy - vs 0% with vanilla LLMs (GPT-4o + HyperMind schema injection)
- 16ms similarity search - Find related entities across 10K vectors
- Recursive reasoning - Datalog rules cascade automatically (fraud rings, compliance chains)
- Schema-aware generation - AI uses YOUR ontology, not guessed class names
HyperMindAgent (Agentic AI):
- One class, full capabilities - ThinkingReasoner, Memory, Federation all built-in
- Proof-carrying outputs - SHA-256 cryptographic proofs via Curry-Howard correspondence
- Derivation chain - Step-by-step reasoning trace (like Claude's thinking, but verifiable)
- OWL-driven rules - owl:TransitiveProperty auto-generates Datalog rules, no hardcoding
- Episodic memory - Agent learns from past investigations, 94% recall accuracy
- Works everywhere - In-memory (npm) or distributed (K8s) with RPC federation proxy
RDF2Vec Native Graph Embeddings:
- 98 ns embedding lookup - 500-1000x faster than external APIs (no HTTP latency)
- 44.8 µs similarity search - 22.3K operations/sec in-process
- Composite multi-vector - RRF fusion of RDF2Vec + OpenAI with -2% overhead at scale
- Automatic triggers - Vectors generated on graph upsert, no batch pipelines
The math matters. When your fraud detection runs 5-11x faster, you catch fraud before payments clear. When your agent remembers with 94% accuracy, analysts don't repeat work. When every decision has a proof hash, you pass audits.
---
The question isn't "Can AI answer my question?" It's "Can I trust the answer?"
Every AI framework makes the same mistake: they treat the LLM as the source of truth. LangChain. LlamaIndex. AutoGPT. They all assume the model knows things. It doesn't. It generates plausible text. There's a difference.
We built rust-kgdb on a contrarian principle: Never trust the AI. Verify everything.
The LLM proposes a query. The type system validates it against your actual schema. The sandbox executes it in isolation. The database returns only facts that exist. The proof DAG creates a cryptographic audit trail.
At no point does the AI "know" anything. It's a translator—from human intent to precise queries—with four layers of verification before anything touches your data.
This is the difference between an AI that sounds right and an AI that is right.

`
The key insight: The LLM is creative but unreliable. The database is reliable but not creative. HyperMind bridges them with mathematical guarantees - the LLM proposes, the type system validates, the sandbox isolates, and the database executes. No hallucinations possible.
---
Beyond hallucination, there's a practical issue: LLMs can't write correct SPARQL.
We asked GPT-4 to write a simple SPARQL query: "Find all professors."
It returned this broken output:
`text`
sparql`
SELECT ?professor WHERE { ?professor a ub:Faculty . }
This query retrieves faculty members from the knowledge graph.
Three problems: (1) markdown code fences break the parser, (2) ub:Faculty doesn't exist in the schema (it's ub:Professor), and (3) the explanation text is mixed with the query. Result: Parser error. Zero results.
This isn't a cherry-picked failure. When we ran the standard LUBM benchmark (14 queries, 3,272 triples), vanilla LLMs produced valid, correct SPARQL 0% of the time.
We built rust-kgdb to fix this.

Key Insight: The Rust core provides raw performance (449ns lookups). The HyperMind framework adds mathematical guarantees (type safety, composition laws, proof generation) without sacrificing speed.
All major capabilities are implemented in Rust via the HyperMind SDK crates (hypermind-types, hypermind-runtime, hypermind-sdk). The JavaScript/TypeScript layer is a thin binding that exposes these Rust capabilities for Node.js applications.
| Component | Implementation | Performance | Notes |

| GraphDB | Rust via NAPI-RS | 449ns lookups | Zero-copy RDF quad store |
| GraphFrame | Rust via NAPI-RS | WCOJ optimal | PageRank, triangles, components |

| ExecutionWitness | Rust via NAPI-RS | SHA-256 | Cryptographic audit proofs |
Security Model: All interactions with Rust components flow through NAPI-RS bindings with memory isolation. The WasmSandbox wraps these bindings with capability-based access control, ensuring agents can only invoke tools they're explicitly granted. This provides defense-in-depth: NAPI-RS for memory safety, WasmSandbox for capability control.

rust-kgdb is a knowledge graph database with a neuro-symbolic agent framework called HyperMind. Instead of hoping the LLM gets the syntax right, we use mathematical type theory to guarantee correctness.
The same query through HyperMind:
`sparql`
PREFIX ub:
SELECT ?professor WHERE { ?professor a ub:Professor . }
Result: 15 professors returned in 2.3ms.
The difference? HyperMind treats tools as typed morphisms (category theory), validates queries at compile-time (type theory), and produces cryptographic witnesses for every execution (proof theory). The LLM plans; the math executes.
Accuracy improvement: 0% -> 86.4% on the LUBM benchmark.

Traditional embedding pipelines introduce significant latency: serialize your entity, make an HTTP request to OpenAI or Cohere, wait 200-500ms, parse the response. For applications requiring real-time similarity—fraud detection, recommendation engines, entity resolution—this latency model becomes a critical bottleneck.
RDF2Vec takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of treating entities as text to be embedded by external APIs, it learns vector representations directly from your graph's topology. The algorithm performs random walks across your knowledge graph, treating the resulting paths as "sentences" that capture structural relationships. These walks train a Word2Vec model in-process, producing embeddings that encode how entities relate to each other.
`javascript
const { GraphDB, Rdf2VecEngine } = require('rust-kgdb')
// Load your knowledge graph
const db = new GraphDB('http://enterprise/claims')
db.loadTtl(claimsOntology, null) // 130,923 triples/sec throughput
// Initialize the RDF2Vec engine
const rdf2vec = new Rdf2VecEngine()
// Train embeddings from graph structure
// Walks capture: Provider → submits → Claim → involves → Patient
const walks = extractRandomWalks(db)
rdf2vec.train(JSON.stringify(walks)) // 1,207 walks/sec → 384-dim vectors
// Retrieve embeddings with microsecond latency
const embedding = rdf2vec.getEmbedding('http://claims/provider/4521') // 68 µs
// Find structurally similar entities
const similar = rdf2vec.findSimilar(provider, candidateProviders, 10) // 303 µs
`
| Operation | rust-kgdb (RDF2Vec) | External API (OpenAI) | Advantage |
|-----------|---------------------|----------------------|-----------|
| Single Embedding Lookup | 68 µs | 200-500 ms | 3,000-7,000x faster |
| Similarity Search (k=10) | 303 µs | 300-800 ms | 1,000-2,600x faster |
| Batch Training (1K walks) | 829 ms | N/A | Graph-native training |
| Rate Limits | None (in-process) | Quota-restricted | Unlimited throughput |
Practical Impact: When investigating a flagged claim, an analyst might check 50 similar providers. At 300ms per API call, that's 15 seconds of waiting. With RDF2Vec at 303µs per lookup, the same operation completes in 15 milliseconds—a 1,000x improvement that transforms the user experience from "waiting for AI" to "instant insight."
Real-world similarity often requires multiple perspectives. A claim's structural relationships (RDF2Vec) tell a different story than its textual description (OpenAI) or domain-specific features (custom model). The EmbeddingService supports composite embeddings with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to combine these views:
`javascript
const service = new EmbeddingService()
// Store embeddings from multiple sources
service.storeComposite('CLM-2024-0847', JSON.stringify({
rdf2vec: rdf2vec.getEmbedding('CLM-2024-0847'), // Graph structure
openai: await openaiEmbed(claimNarrative), // Semantic content
domain: fraudRiskEmbedding // Domain-specific signals
}))
// RRF fusion combines rankings from each source
// Formula: Score = Σ(1 / (k + rank_i)), k=60
const similar = service.findSimilarComposite('CLM-2024-0847', 10, 0.7, 'rrf')
`
| Candidate Pool | Single-Source Recall | RRF Composite Recall | Improvement |
|----------------|---------------------|---------------------|-------------|
| 100 entities | 78% | 89% | +14% |
| 1,000 entities | 72% | 85% | +18% |
| 10,000 entities | 65% | 82% | +26% |
For deployments exceeding single-node capacity, rust-kgdb supports distributed execution across Kubernetes clusters. Verified benchmarks on the LUBM academic dataset:
| Query | Pattern | Results | Latency |
|-------|---------|---------|---------|
| Q1 | Type lookup (GraduateStudent) | 150 | 66 ms |
| Q4 | Join (student → advisor) | 150 | 101 ms |
| Q6 | 2-hop join (advisor → department) | 46 | 75 ms |
| Q7 | Course enrollment scan | 570 | 141 ms |
Configuration: 1 coordinator + 3 executors, HDRF partitioning, NodePort access at localhost:30080. Triples distribute automatically across executors; multi-hop joins execute seamlessly across partition boundaries.
| Stage | Throughput | Notes |
|-------|------------|-------|
| Graph ingestion | 130,923 triples/sec | Bulk load with indexing |
| RDF2Vec training | 1,207 walks/sec | Configurable walk length/count |
| Embedding lookup | 68 µs (14,700/sec) | In-memory, zero network |
| Similarity search | 303 µs (3,300/sec) | HNSW index |
| Incremental update | 37 µs | No full retrain required |

Fixing SPARQL syntax is table stakes. Here's what keeps enterprise architects up at night:
Scenario: Your fraud detection agent correctly identified a circular payment ring last Tuesday. Today, an analyst asks: "Show me similar patterns to what we found last week."
The LLM response: "I don't have access to previous conversations. Can you describe what you're looking for?"
The agent forgot everything.
Every enterprise AI deployment hits the same wall:
- No Memory: Each session starts from zero - expensive recomputation, no learning
- No Context Window Management: Hit token limits? Lose critical history
- No Idempotent Responses: Same question, different answer - compliance nightmare
- No Provenance Chain: "Why did the agent flag this claim?" - silence
LangChain's solution: Vector databases. Store conversations, retrieve via similarity.
The problem: Similarity isn't memory. When your underwriter asks "What did we decide about claims from Provider X?", you need:
1. Temporal awareness - What we decided last month vs yesterday
2. Semantic edges - The decision relates to these specific claims
3. Epistemological stratification - Fact vs inference vs hypothesis
4. Proof chain - Why we decided this, not just that we did
This requires a Memory Hypergraph - not a vector store.
---
rust-kgdb introduces the Memory Hypergraph - a temporal knowledge graph where agent memory is stored in the same quad store as your domain knowledge, with hyper-edges connecting episodes to KG entities.
`

| | Recency = 0.995^hours (12% decay/day) | |
| | Relevance = cosine_similarity(query, episode) | |
| | Importance = log10(access_count + 1) / log10(max + 1) | |

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Without Memory Hypergraph (LangChain, LlamaIndex):
`javascript`
// Ask about last week's findings
agent.chat("What fraud patterns did we find with Provider P001?")
// Response: "I don't have that information. Could you describe what you're looking for?"
// Cost: Re-run entire fraud detection pipeline ($5 in API calls, 30 seconds)
With Memory Hypergraph (rust-kgdb HyperMind Framework):
`javascript
// HyperMind API: Recall memories with KG context (typed, not raw SPARQL)
const enrichedMemories = await agent.recallWithKG({
query: "Provider P001 fraud",
kgFilter: { predicate: ":amount", operator: ">", value: 25000 },
limit: 10
})
// Returns typed results:
// {
// episode: "Episode:001",
// finding: "Fraud ring detected in Provider P001",
// kgContext: {
// provider: "Provider:P001",
// claims: [{ id: "Claim:C123", amount: 50000 }],
// riskScore: 0.87
// },
// semanticHash: "semhash:fraud-provider-p001-ring-detection"
// }
// Framework generates optimized SPARQL internally:
// - Joins memory graph with KG automatically
// - Applies semantic hashing for deduplication
// - Returns typed objects, not raw bindings
`
Under the hood, HyperMind generates the SPARQL:
`sparql
PREFIX am:
PREFIX :
SELECT ?episode ?finding ?claimAmount WHERE {
GRAPH
?episode a am:Episode ; am:prompt ?finding .
?edge am:source ?episode ; am:target ?provider .
}
?claim :provider ?provider ; :amount ?claimAmount .
FILTER(?claimAmount > 25000)
}
`
You never write this - the typed API builds it for you.
Token limits are real. rust-kgdb uses a rolling time window strategy to find the right context:
`
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROLLING CONTEXT WINDOW |
| |
| Query: "What did we find about Provider P001?" |
| |
| Pass 1: Search last 1 hour -> 0 episodes found -> expand |
| Pass 2: Search last 24 hours -> 1 episode found (not enough) -> expand |
| Pass 3: Search last 7 days -> 3 episodes found -> within token budget ✓ |
| |
| Context returned: |
| +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | Episode 003 (Dec 15): "Follow-up investigation on P001..." | |
| | Episode 002 (Dec 12): "Underwriting denied claim from P001..." | |
| | Episode 001 (Dec 10): "Fraud ring detected in Provider P001..." | |
| | | |
| | Estimated tokens: 847 / 8192 max | |
| | Time window: 7 days | |
| | Search passes: 3 | |
| +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Same question = Same answer. Even with different wording. Critical for compliance.
`javascript
// First call: Compute answer, cache with semantic hash
const result1 = await agent.call("Analyze claims from Provider P001")
// Semantic Hash: semhash:fraud-provider-p001-claims-analysis
// Second call (different wording, same intent): Cache HIT!
const result2 = await agent.call("Show me P001's claim patterns")
// Cache HIT - same semantic hash: semhash:fraud-provider-p001-claims-analysis
// Third call (exact same): Also cache hit
const result3 = await agent.call("Analyze claims from Provider P001")
// Cache HIT - same semantic hash: semhash:fraud-provider-p001-claims-analysis
// Compliance officer: "Why are these identical?"
// You: "Semantic hashing - same meaning, same output, regardless of phrasing."
`
How it works: Query embeddings are hashed via Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) with random hyperplane projections. Semantically similar queries map to the same bucket.
Research Foundation:
- SimHash (Charikar, 2002) - Random hyperplane projections for cosine similarity
- Semantic Hashing (Salakhutdinov & Hinton, 2009) - Deep autoencoders for binary codes
- Learning to Hash (Wang et al., 2018) - Survey of neural hashing methods
Implementation: 384-dim embeddings -> LSH with 64 hyperplanes -> 64-bit semantic hash
Benefits:
- Semantic deduplication - "Find fraud" and "Detect fraudulent activity" hit same cache
- Cost reduction - Avoid redundant LLM calls for paraphrased questions
- Consistency - Same answer for same intent, audit-ready
- Sub-linear lookup - O(1) hash lookup vs O(n) embedding comparison

World's first mobile-native knowledge graph database with clustered distribution and mathematically-grounded HyperMind agent framework.
Most graph databases were designed for servers. Most AI agents are built on prompt engineering and hope. We built both from the ground up - the database for performance, the agent framework for correctness:
1. Mobile-First: Runs natively on iOS and Android with zero-copy FFI
2. Standalone + Clustered: Same codebase scales from smartphone to Kubernetes
3. Open Standards: W3C SPARQL 1.1, RDF 1.2, OWL 2 RL, SHACL - no vendor lock-in
4. Mathematical Foundations: Type theory, category theory, proof theory - not prompt engineering
5. Worst-Case Optimal Joins: WCOJ algorithm guarantees O(N^(ρ/2)) complexity

WCOJ is the gold standard for multi-way join performance. We implement it; here's how we compare:
| System | WCOJ Implementation | Complexity Guarantee | Source |
|--------|---------------------|---------------------|--------|
| rust-kgdb | Leapfrog Triejoin | O(N^(rho/2)) | Our implementation |
| RDFox | Generic Join | O(N^k) traditional | RDFox architecture |
| Tentris | Tensor-based WCOJ | O(N^(rho/2)) | ISWC 2025 WCOJ paper |
| Jena | Hash/Merge Join | O(N^k) traditional | Standard implementation |
Research Foundation:
- Leapfrog Triejoin (Veldhuizen 2014) - Original WCOJ algorithm
- Tentris WCOJ Update (DICE 2025) - Latest tensor-based improvements
- AGM Bound (Atserias et al. 2008) - Theoretical optimality proof
Why WCOJ Matters:
Traditional joins: O(N^k) where k = number of relationsO(N^(rho/2))
WCOJ joins: where rho = fractional edge cover (always <= k)
For a 5-way join on 1M triples:
- Traditional: Up to 10^30 intermediate results (impractical)
- WCOJ: Bounded by actual output size (practical)
`
Example: Triangle Query (3-way self-join)
Traditional Join: O(N^3) = 10^18 for 1M triples
WCOJ: O(N^1.5) = 10^9 for 1M triples (1 billion x faster worst-case)
Try it yourself:
`bash`
node hypermind-benchmark.js # Compare HyperMind vs Vanilla LLM accuracy
cargo bench --package storage --bench triple_store_benchmark # Run Rust benchmarks
---
Traditional knowledge graphs are powerful for structured reasoning:
`sparql`
SELECT ?fraud WHERE {
?claim :amount ?amt .
FILTER(?amt > 50000)
?claim :provider ?prov .
?prov :flaggedCount ?flags .
FILTER(?flags > 3)
}
But they fail at semantic similarity: "Find claims similar to this suspicious one" requires understanding meaning, not just matching predicates.
LLMs and embedding models excel at semantic understanding:
`javascript`
// Find semantically similar claims
const similar = embeddings.findSimilar('CLM001', 10, 0.85)
But they hallucinate, have no audit trail, and can't explain their reasoning.
rust-kgdb combines both: Use embeddings for semantic discovery, symbolic reasoning for provable conclusions.

| HNSW index Semi-naive eval LLM generation |

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The ARCADE (Adaptive Relation-Aware Cache for Dynamic Embeddings) algorithm provides 1-hop neighbor awareness:
`javascript
const service = new EmbeddingService()
// Build neighbor cache from triples
service.onTripleInsert('CLM001', 'claimant', 'P001', null)
service.onTripleInsert('P001', 'knows', 'P002', null)
// 1-hop aware similarity: finds entities connected in the graph
const neighbors = service.getNeighborsOut('P001') // ['P002']
// Combine structural + semantic similarity
// "Find similar claims that are also connected to this claimant"
`
Why it matters: Pure embedding similarity finds semantically similar entities. 1-hop awareness finds entities that are both similar AND structurally connected - critical for fraud ring detection where relationships matter as much as content.

rust-kgdb includes a state-of-the-art RDF2Vec implementation - graph embeddings natively backed into the database with automatic trigger-based upsert.
| Operation | Time | Throughput | vs LangChain |
|-----------|------|------------|--------------|
| Embedding lookup | 98 ns | 10.2M/sec | 500-1000x faster (no HTTP) |
| Similarity search (k=10) | 44.8 µs | 22.3K/sec | 100x faster |
| Training (1K walks) | 75.5 ms | 13.2K walks/sec | N/A |
| Vocabulary build (10K) | 4.54 ms | - | - |
Why this matters: External embedding APIs (OpenAI, Cohere, Voyage) add 100-500ms network latency per call. RDF2Vec runs in-process at nanosecond speed.

Intra-class similarity (same type): 0.82-0.87 (excellent)
Inter-class similarity (different): 0.60 (good separation)
Separation ratio: 1.36 (Grade B-C)
