Why File Paths Are Not Enough for AI Knowledge

Your docs may look organized to humans and still be structurally unreliable for AI. When humans navigate documentation, file paths often feel sufficient. We can infer a lot from folder names. We can guess where a document moved. We can compensate when naming is inconsistent. Even when links break, we can usually recover by searching. AI does not recover that way. For AI systems, file paths are weak references. They are convenient locations, but poor anchors for knowledge.
