A format that cannot store noise
The working thesis behind wvf: a storage format that refuses
noise structurally, before judgment.

wvf
A constrained notation format for encoding conceptual worldviews,
built for LLM context persistence, in which the structure itself
enforces what can and cannot be stored.

Most of what a mind writes down does not deserve to survive the writing. A memory system that persists everything persists mostly noise: restatement, hedging, narrative that was only ever scaffolding. The usual answer is curation, meaning judgment applied after the fact, expensive and late. wvf takes the structural alternative.
Everything stored must be a claim about a concept. The format admits exactly one shape, concept then facet then claim, and nothing else parses. Confidence, sourcing, and cross-references ride on a compact operator set rather than free prose, so the notation refuses drift before judgment has to catch it.

the pieces
The repository carries the format specification, a Rust CLI and validator, and a Python evaluation framework that measures how well the constraint holds up under real use — whether a worldview round-trips through the notation without losing what mattered or gaining what didn't.
