Concepts

The ideas behind the engine

Almost everything Telha does follows from a handful of ideas. Read these in order and the rest of the product, from the query grammar to the trace viewer, will feel inevitable.

  • 1 · World state, not documents


    Telha stores versioned facts projected out of your documents and systems. Documents are evidence; state is the product.

    World state

  • 2 · The tritemporal model


    Three clocks on every fact: when it was true, when Telha learned it, and what date the source itself asserts.

    Three clocks

  • 3 · Provenance to the span


    Every fact links to the exact byte ranges of the exact source version it came from, and survives corrections.

    Provenance

  • 4 · Confidence & decay


    Facts carry confidence; relationships weaken over graph distance; hybrid queries fuse similarity with that decay.

    Confidence & decay

  • 5 · Verified answers


    Generation plans evidence under a budget, generates from the plan only, then verifies every claim against the planned spans.

    Verified answers

  • 6 · When Telha is not sure, it asks


    Unpinnable facts open a clarification, routed from the graph, delivered as a one-tap card, recorded as evidence.

    Clarifications

  • 7 · Memory that tells you when it changes


    Telha does not only answer when asked. Watch what you rely on and hear the moment it moves, with receipts and permissions intact.

    Active memory

  • 8 · Tenancy & security


    Cross-tenant reads are unrepresentable by construction; classified fields are encrypted before core sees them; access is deny-by-default.

    Tenancy & security

The one-sentence version

Search retrieves text; Telha resolves state. It remembers every version of every fact, tells you what was true and when, and proves every answer against the source bytes it came from.
