## Useful for

- Embed graph memory into an AI agent to store and audit beliefs with history
- Run Datalog queries with recursive rules for multi-hop traversal in a mobile app
- Inspect past graph state via :as-of and bi-temporal queries

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 15:39–17:26: 49 → 77 stars (+28). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +35 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
