The Topology Is Alive

In every other system, the index is static between writes. SERAPH's topology evolves as knowledge accumulates:

• Eigenframe promotion. Frames that accumulate enough inbound semantic links auto-promote to fast-access entry points. The store organizes its own access hierarchy based on what's actually important in the data.
• Drift detection. When the semantic center of a region shifts, SERAPH surfaces a drift alert: "the meaning of this region has changed." No other system can tell you your knowledge has shifted.
• Contradiction detection. When two frames land geometrically close but their neighborhoods diverge, SERAPH flags it. This is knowledge reacting to itself — the topology detecting conflicting information in the same region. In a vector DB, contradictions sit silently next to each other forever.
• Self-consolidation. Redundant frames are merged into centroid frames. Redirect frames preserve old graph positions. Superseded frames are kept for history. The topology prunes itself while maintaining full provenance.
