Knowledge Base

The tables the reasoner reads

Reference tables a node consults to answer a question of fact — what a code means, what its unit ceiling is, what one billing unit is worth. A node reaches them through the table_lookup operator, naming the table and the column it wants.

This is not the policy library. The Knowledge Center holds versioned policy prose and the retrieval over it — it governs the determination, in the version in force at the date of service. These tables do not govern anything: they are looked up. A node asks the code guide what 99215 is; it asks CPP-014 whether the record supports billing it. The engine keeps them in separate stores for the same reason.

Signed-off wins, else highest version. An unsigned newer version sits on disk beside a signed one without displacing it, so a table can be prepared and reviewed without changing what tonight's run reads. Both properties are cgn-sop-reasoner's, taken from the engine itself; what is a stand-in is the store — these are YAML files read once at import, where the platform keeps a row-hashed version ledger in Postgres and mirrors sign-off to Genesis AuthZ.
