We build software that reasons, not software that guesses.

Noesis: AI you can put under contract.

A neurosymbolic runtime that answers only what it can prove from a governed memory, cites every premise, quarantines what it merely believes — and says so, out loud, when it doesn't know.

No black boxes: every answer is proven, cited, a labeled belief, or a loud abstention — never a guess dressed as a fact.

0
false proofs across 100K synthetic patients and 3.1M derivations — a scoped, gated result held as a standing regression check.
18
reasoners, one provability contract — abstention is first-class; a heuristic is never laundered into a proof.
JNC-8
proven-equivalent to hand-coded guideline logic on the tested patient grid — proven, not asserted.

Every answer wears its mode. Here is one in Proven — open it and check the chain yourself.

Does fluconazole interact with warfarin?
Proven

Yes — fluconazole inhibits CYP2C9, the enzyme that clears warfarin, so warfarin exposure rises and bleeding risk increases. Every step below cites an FDA label.

Open the premise chain
  1. Fluconazole inhibits CYP2C9 FDA label — fluconazole
  2. Warfarin is cleared by CYP2C9 FDA label — warfarin
  3. Inhibiting the clearing enzyme raises warfarin exposure interaction rule
  4. Therefore: elevated bleeding risk — monitor INR derived · proven

An illustration of the Proven mode. When Noesis can't ground a chain, it abstains out loud instead — refusal is a feature, not a failure.

Adding a Relationship Type: Zero Lines of Rust — and the Two Costs That Aren't

Nobody needs another kanban board, and this post is not about one. We open-sourced arrow-kanban — an Arrow-native work-graph engine with Parquet persistence, typed relationships, and a NATS server mode (MIT)

A Proof-Carrying, FHIR-Native Drug-Interaction Alert

Most drug-interaction alerts arrive as a verdict with no receipt. "Major interaction." Says who? Based on what? A clinician can't tell, so — under time pressure, for

Pairwise Tables Can't Hold a 3-Drug Interaction — a Mechanism DAG Can

Ask a commercial interaction checker about a three-drug problem and you'll get, at best, three separate two-drug answers. That's not a limitation of the vendor'

Never-Launder: A Drug Database That Abstains Instead of Fabricating "Safe"

Here is the failure mode that should scare anyone who ships clinical decision support: a drug-interaction checker that, when it doesn't know, quietly returns nothing. No alert. No

Hypothesis-Driven Development: When Four Out of Five Hypotheses Fail — and It's the Most Productive Week You've Ever Had

If you're building AI systems — agents, RAG pipelines, fine-tuned models, anything that learns — you already know that unit tests are necessary and completely insufficient. Tests tell you whether
