claims_extracted:
  - "knowledge between notes is generated by traversal not stored in any individual note because curated link paths produce emergent understanding that embedding similarity cannot replicate"
  - "vault structure is a stronger determinant of agent behavior than prompt engineering because different knowledge graph architectures produce different reasoning patterns from identical model weights"
