Retrieval

Separate context before the model blends it.

Retrieval quality depends on how knowledge is stored before the query arrives. If instructions, examples, source notes, and definitions sit in the same undifferentiated block, an answer system has to infer which sentence is evidence and which sentence is behavior.

Distinct retrieval lanes for facts, instructions, examples, and cautions

Fact lane

stable descriptions, dates, entity relationships

Instruction lane

how a system should use or avoid a record

Example lane

small cases that demonstrate the record in practice

Caution lane

known conflicts, stale-risk, and misuse patterns

The retrieval layer should make ambiguity expensive to publish and easy to detect. LLM Wikibase favors short labeled passages, explicit boundary notes, and field-level summaries because those materials can be selected, quoted, and refreshed without rewriting the entire record.
