Engineering
Operational handbooks, reference manuals, and production engineering guides for building AI systems that behave under real constraints.
Use Engineering when you need a reference you can consult while designing, debugging, reviewing, or operating a system.
Original Terminology
AI engineering is evolving rapidly, and its vocabulary is still taking shape. Throughout Kavriq, you may encounter terms, principles, and frameworks that are original to this site.
They are introduced only where existing terminology is insufficient, ambiguous, or too broad for the engineering concept being discussed. Unless stated otherwise, these names should be understood as proposed models for reasoning about AI systems, not as established industry standards.
The goal is not to invent terminology for its own sake. It is to improve clarity when discussing new engineering problems, and to offer ideas that readers can judge by their usefulness.
