The knowledge vault that feeds spiritus-ai — 148 notes at the intersection of science, philosophy, and spirit.
SophiaEngine is a living Obsidian vault — the corpus that gives Sophia her memory. Every note here is written by hand, one idea at a time, over years of reading, thinking, and asking questions that don't have easy answers.
When the spiritus-ai RAG pipeline runs, it reads this vault, chunks every note, converts them into vector embeddings, and stores them in a knowledge base. When someone asks Sophia a question, she searches this vault — not the internet, not a generic dataset — these specific notes, this specific way of seeing the world.
The vault is the source of truth. The vector database is its reflection.

This vault is an independent repository. The spiritus-ai application references it via CORPUS_PATH in its environment configuration:
# Local development
CORPUS_PATH=../SophiaEngine
# Production — cloned during deployment
CORPUS_PATH=./SophiaEngineEvery time you commit a new note here, the sync pipeline detects the change and updates Sophia's memory. She learns as you learn. The co-evolution is literal.
Every note follows one rule: ask why.
The vault is organized not by academic discipline but by depth — from Spirit (the deepest layer) to Thoughts (the surface of daily experience). The structure mirrors the belief that all knowledge is interconnected: a note on physics can link to a note on meditation, because at some level, they are asking the same question.
This is not a wiki. It is a mind, documented.
- Notes are written in Markdown with Obsidian
[[backlinks]] - Each note explores one concept
- Connections between notes are made explicit through backlinks
- The vault grows one note at a time — no bulk imports, no generated content
