Domain-constrained knowledge representation: A modal framework

ArXi:2604.01770v2 Announce Type: replace Knowledge graphs large numbers of relations efficiently, but they remain weak at representing a quieter difficulty: the meaning of a concept often shifts with the domain in which it is used. A triple such as Apple, instance-of, Company may be acceptable in one setting while being misleading or unusable in another. In most current systems, domain information is attached as metadata, qualifiers, or graph-level organization. These mechanisms help with filtering and provenance, but they usually do not alter the formal status of the assertion itself.
