Tiksi

Tiksi is Quechua for foundation, origin, primal cause. This package holds the shared epistemic primitives that Yanantin, Willay, and Pukara all rest on:

• a frozen Pydantic base model;
• declared losses and epistemic metadata (T/I/F);
• provenance envelopes and source identifiers;
• tensor, strand, and key-claim records;
• composition edges, corrections, dissent, negation, bootstrap, schema evolution;
• entity resolution.

The whole package is pure Pydantic. It has no database, no HTTP, no attestation. Depending on Tiksi does not drag in storage backends or service runtimes — that is the point.

Install

uv add tiksi

Use

from tiksi import EpistemicMetadata, TensorRecord, ProvenanceEnvelope

t = TensorRecord(narrative_body="hello")

Where this fits

• Yanantin stores and retrieves anchored memory. It uses Tiksi models.
• Willay issues and verifies attestation receipts. It uses Tiksi models.
• Pukara is a storage-confidentiality gateway. It uses Tiksi models.

Tiksi is the small, stable layer they share. Changing Tiksi changes all three; that is the cost of the abstraction and the reason it stays small.
