Library

Library is where every note lives. Every note that has passed through Existential is here: the notes you captured, the reference material you dropped in, and the occasional synthesis the Oracle wrote for you. Open it from the Library entry in the sidebar.

Browsing

Library shows your notes in reverse chronological order. The list is grouped by category, because the Oracle places each note into one or more categories when it takes the note in. Early on, most notes land in an inbox category. Over time the Oracle learns sharper placement from how you use your Library.

Above the list, you can shape the view two ways.

• Category filter. A small set of toggle chips. Click one to narrow the list to a single category, for example learning notes, project planning, or reflection. You can select more than one at a time.
• Project adjustment. If the Oracle assigned a note to the wrong project, reassign it. This is your main way of teaching the Oracle how your work is structured.

Each row also shows whether the Oracle has shared the note across the network. This is a read-only indicator. There is no per-note share button, because sharing is the Oracle's own proposal, made within the limits you set in Settings (your overall opt-in, and the things you have marked as never shareable). It is not something you switch on row by row.

The unified note view

Click any note to open the unified note view. It shows three things together.

• Your text. The note as you wrote it.
• What the Oracle inferred. The pieces it broke the note into, with their conviction scores, the concepts it surfaced, and the connections it drew to the rest of your Library.
• The note's history. When you first captured it, when you last revisited it, and what changed each time.

You can edit your text directly inside this view. When you save, the change writes back to the note, and the Oracle takes the note in again. Its view of the pieces updates within a few seconds.

Filtering and finding

For now, Library surfaces your notes through the category filter and the list view. The filter at the top is a single searchable list of categories, projects, and named areas. Type into it to narrow the view by name. Fuller search across the whole Library, both by exact words and by meaning, is on the way.

What stays in the Library

A note never disappears from the Library once it has been taken in. Even pieces that have lost conviction, because newer thinking has replaced the beliefs underneath them, stay visible. The Oracle does not prune your Library for you. Conviction may fade over time, through gentle recency decay and through where your attention does and does not go, but a note is never deleted.

The one exception is a note you remove yourself. When you delete it, the Oracle notices and retires the corresponding pieces. The historical record still stays, so you can see in the Library's history that the note once existed.
