MCP Is Not an AI Protocol. It Is a Governance Layer.
MCP Is Not an AI Protocol. It Is a Governance Layer.

MCP is classified as an AI integration protocol. It is actually a governance primitive β€” the stable interface layer that architecture fitness functions have been missing for years.

...the inspector's notes are now wrong. Every circuit reference. Every panel diagram. Every trace they documented. All of it describes a wiring configuration that no longer exists. The second approach is...

AI Knowledge Systems β€” RAG, Search, Memory & Internal Knowledge
Intermediate4-5 hoursKnowledge system map + RAG decision framework + memory design checklist

Many useful AI systems are not smarter because the model is smarter. They are smarter because the system can retrieve, search, remember, and ground itself in the right knowledge at the right time.

...memory, and grounding When to use RAG Internal knowledge design Chunking, freshness, and authority Failure patterns in knowledge systems Design principles that actually help When not to build a knowledge...
