Search a corpus larger than the window
A ten-megabyte log does not fit in any model window. Recursive inference runs bounded frames over slices instead, and only the answer enters the conversation.
The request
❯ you
Find every place where protocol version 2 is negotiated in
var/log/gateway.log, and quote the surrounding lines.
Behind the prompt Autolith runs a root completion over the
file: the root drives a Lisp environment that slices the
context (context-slice,
context-search), fans sub-inferences over the
pieces, and combines their reports before committing one final
value.
Many independent files
When the same question applies to many files separately, the fan-out form applies one frame per resource concurrently under one shared budget, and results come back in task order.
Check the evidence
Every run records a trace identifier. Read the trace later to see which slices produced the quoted lines, and audit the answer against the corpus yourself.
