# Concepts

A knowledge model can be a dependency shared by applications and AI agents.
Its value depends on preserving the interpretation, the conditions of use and
the grounds of each conclusion.

The [computational model](/concepts/computational-model/) explains this idea through
a laboratory example, then examines support, evidence, human judgment,
composition and change. It distinguishes documented mechanisms from proposed
architectural requirements and the project's longer-term ambition.

## Put the model to work

- [Quickstart](/guide/quickstart/): ask your first question from TypeScript.
- [Read an answer](/guide/reading-an-answer/): inspect statuses and grounds.
- [SDK reference](/build/sdk/): understand what each execution path returns.
- [Formalization Handbook](/handbook/): turn a source into a model for review.

The [Arxo Manifesto](https://www.arxo.io/manifesto/) states the principles guiding
how we build and preserve executable knowledge.
