The learning loop improves an already working system rather than rescuing a non-functional one so that CORTEX adds incremental value instead of being a prerequisite for baseline retrieval.

This means the learning loop improves a working system, rather than rescuing a non-functional one.

the system still functions as a graph-and-vector retrieval engine

it does not need a mature history to deliver basic value
