GM-RKB Conceptual Commitment

A GM-RKB Conceptual Commitment is a conceptual commitment that represents a fundamental design philosophy or architectural principle embedded in the GM-RKB content enhancement system codebase.

• AKA: GM-RKB Design Principle, RKB System Philosophy, RKB Architectural Commitment.
• Context:
  • It can express philosophical stances about how knowledge should be structured and managed.
  • It can manifest through code patterns, system architecture, and operational protocols.
  • It can create design tensions that must be resolved through architectural tradeoffs.
  • It can guide development decisions and feature prioritization throughout the system evolution.
  • It can be discovered through code analysis even when not explicitly documented.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Enhancement vs Replacement commitment that AI systems should augment rather than replace human curation.
  • Format Orthodoxy commitment requiring strict wiki format consistency for machine readability.
  • Reversibility Principle commitment that every bulk operation must generate a rollback manifest.
  • Session-Based Work commitment organizing work into bounded work sessions with clear session protocols.
  • Cost Consciousness commitment tracking every LLM API call with cost monitoring.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • An implementation detail that doesn't represent a broader design philosophy.
  • A coding convention that is stylistic rather than conceptual.
  • A temporary workaround that doesn't reflect long-term commitment.
• See: Conceptual Commitment, Software Design Philosophy, GM-RKB, GM-RKB Skill, GM-RKB Protocol, Architectural Principle.
