+# Lance-Graph Backend Package (Ontology + Cognitive Fabric)
+
+**Generated**: 2026-05-11  
+**Context**: Analysis of AdaWorldAPI/lance-graph repo, focusing on `lance-graph-ontology` and `lance-graph-cognitive/src/fabric`
+
+## What is included in this package
+
+This zip contains:
+
+1. **firefly_frame.rs** - The actual 16384-bit Firefly Frame microinstruction format from the repo (the "cognitive CPU" frame spec that supports NARS, Cypher, Lance, Causal, Quantum, Memory, Control languages).
+
+2. **Current backend status** (from repo exploration):
+   - `lance-graph-ontology` crate has **OGIT-canonical ontology spine** scaffolding started.
+   - No DOLCE or OWL support yet.
+   - Bridges for external namespaces (SharePoint, Email).
+   - Bilingual DTO surface mentioned in commits.
+
+3. **Proposed extensions** (new files in `proposed/`):
+   - `ogit_dolce_spine.rs` — Rust foundation for OGIT spine aligned with DOLCE categories (highly recommended for NARS/cognitive compatibility).
+   - `owl_support.rs` — Basic OWL import/export sketch.
+   - `fabric_ontology_bridge.rs` — Glue to connect the ontology spine to the cognitive fabric / Firefly Frame / shader driver.
+
+## Current State Summary (Double-check)
+
+| Component              | Status in `lance-graph-ontology`          | Recommendation |
+|------------------------|-------------------------------------------|----------------|
+| OGIT spine             | Scaffolding exists (commit: "scaffold the OGIT-canonical ontology spine") | Keep as project canonical layer |
+| DOLCE                  | **Absent**                                | Add alignment (especially Endurant/Perdurant/Quality for cognitive grounding) |
+| OWL                    | **Absent**                                | Add serialization layer for interoperability |
+| Connection to cognitive fabric (`firefly_frame`, shader-driver) | Not connected yet | Use the proposed bridge |
+
+**OGIT** here appears to be used as the internal canonical ontology (possibly "Ontology for General Intelligence Tasks" or geospatial variant — the spine is the core).
+
+## Why DOLCE + OGIT + OWL matters for your architecture
+
+- **DOLCE** provides excellent foundational categories for cognitive/NARS-style reasoning (perdurants for events/processes that map to NARS temporal inference and Firefly "CONTEXT" qualia/truth values).
+- **OGIT spine** = your project-specific canonical model.
+- **OWL** = standard way to import/export ontologies and reason externally.
+- **Firefly Frame** already has language prefix for **NARS (0x3)** and **Causal (0x4)** — perfect place to ground in a DOLCE-aligned ontology.
+
+## Python Scripts Rule (Important)
+
+**All Python scripts in this project are to be treated as an internal convenience layer** around the already existing **MCP tool calls** (core Rust engine, ontology spine, cognitive fabric / Firefly Frame encoder, graph query engines, etc.).
+
+- Never duplicate core logic in Python.
+- Python only adds ergonomics, high-level orchestration, validation, and developer-friendly APIs.
+- The real work (OGIT+DOLCE spine, Firefly Frame encoding, NARS inference, Cypher/Lance execution) always happens in Rust via PyO3.
+
+The new `python/convenience/lance_graph_convenience.py` demonstrates this pattern.
+
+## How to use this package
+
+1. Copy `firefly_frame.rs` into your `crates/lance-graph-cognitive/src/fabric/`
+2. Create `crates/lance-graph-ontology/src/ontology/` and add the proposed `ogit_dolce_spine.rs`
+3. Implement the bridge so Firefly Frames can carry ontology-typed payloads.
+4. Use `python/convenience/lance_graph_convenience.py` as the recommended Python entry point (it already follows the "convenience layer around MCP" rule).
+
+## Next steps I can help with
+
+- Full implementation of the OGIT+DOLCE spine (Rust)
+- Mapping specific DOLCE classes to NARS terms
+- Integration code between ontology and the 16384-bit Firefly Frame
+- OWL <-> Rust struct bidirectional mapping
+- More convenience methods in the Python layer (following the internal convenience rule)
+
+Just say the word and I'll iterate on any of the proposed files.
