Core Framing Notes

• PathMX is a future-proof archival format for institutional knowledge, designed to be stewarded by AI "digital scribes" rather than consumed by transient tools.
• A durable intermediate representation for institutional knowledge — readable by humans, executable by machines, auditable over time, and portable across ecosystems.
• PathMX is not an LMS or an AI product. It is the knowledge layer everything else builds on.
• "Built to outlive tools, platforms, and models."
• Agents are replaceable; the repository is not.
