Project-Pharos

Project Pharos

Zero-token knowledge injection via structured triples. Named for the Lighthouse of Alexandria — the structure that delivered light to guide ships. Pharos delivers knowledge to guide reasoning.

153+ knowledge packs covering community legal rights, mutual aid, scientific domains, AI/ML, security, philosophy, chemistry, and more. HTTP API server with fuzzy search, entity lookup, and graph traversal.

Features

• 153+ knowledge packs — Structured (subject, predicate, object) triples extracted from authoritative sources. Domains include ethics, law, science, engineering, mutual aid, security, and AI/ML
• HTTP API server — Query any pack by keyword, look up entities, traverse the knowledge graph, or get pack statistics
• Fuzzy search — Weighted word matching across all triples in a pack. Partial matches scored at 0.5, exact at 1.0
• Entity lookup — Exact match on subject, object, or predicate roles
• Graph traversal — Walk the knowledge graph from any entity to configurable depth, returning connected triples layer by layer
• Pack router — SIRA-based routing selects the right pack for a given query automatically
• Multiple injection formats — Triple text, walk encoding, source excerpts, KV cache injection, or hybrid

Usage

Start the server

python pack_server.py --port 8300

Query examples

# Search for p-hacking across all packs
curl localhost:8300/query -d '{"pack": "statistical-pitfalls", "query": "p-hacking"}'

# Traverse the knowledge graph from an entity
curl localhost:8300/traverse -d '{"pack": "causal-inference", "entity": "confounding", "depth": 2}'

# Look up a specific entity
curl localhost:8300/lookup -d '{"pack": "eviction-defense", "entity": "30-day notice", "role": "subject"}'

# Search across all packs
curl localhost:8300/search -d '{"query": "tenant rights eviction"}'

# List all packs
curl localhost:8300/packs

From Python

import requests

# Query a pack
resp = requests.post("http://localhost:8300/query", json={
    "pack": "eviction-defense",
    "query": "unlawful detainer",
    "max_results": 10
})
triples = resp.json()["results"]

Pack Format

Each pack is a directory containing triples.json:

{
  "description": "Eviction defense procedures and tenant rights",
  "sources": ["California Civil Code", "HUD guidelines"],
  "triples": [
    {
      "subject": "unlawful detainer",
      "predicate": "requires",
      "object": "proper notice before filing"
    }
  ]
}
