Graph database
A store in which relationships between entities are first-class and indexed, so that traversal across connections is efficient rather than a series of joins.
Why it matters
The natural substrate for the two problems agentic finance cannot currently solve: model provenance and chain of title. Both are traversals — this model derives from that dataset which came from that source under that license — and both are auditable in a way an embedding space is not, because you can show a regulator the path.
Relationships
Typed edges into the rest of the ontology. These are what make the canon traversable rather than merely readable.
