# The Norns: NornicDB's Namesake NornicDB takes its name from the **Norns** — the Norse deities who weave the threads of fate at the base of Yggdrasil, the world tree. ## The Three Norns In Norse mythology, three female beings control the destiny of gods and mortals alike: | Norn | Domain | Meaning | |------|--------|---------| | **Urðr** | Past | "That which has become" | | **Verðandi** | Present | "That which is happening" | | **Skuld** | Future | "That which shall be" | Together, they weave the threads of fate (*wyrd*) that determine the course of all existence. ## Connection to NornicDB The Norns' role as weavers of destiny mirrors NornicDB's core functionality: ### Weaving Connections Just as the Norns weave threads to connect all beings, NornicDB automatically discovers and creates relationships between data nodes based on: - Embedding similarity - Co-access patterns - Temporal proximity - Transitive inference ### Three Tiers of Memory NornicDB's memory decay system reflects the Norns' domains: | Memory Tier | Norn Parallel | Half-Life | |-------------|---------------|-----------| | **Episodic** | Skuld (Future-focused, fleeting) | 7 days | | **Semantic** | Verðandi (Present knowledge) | 69 days | | **Procedural** | Urðr (Accumulated wisdom) | 693 days | ### Destiny Emerges from Connections The Norns don't create events directly — they weave the threads that connect them. Similarly, NornicDB doesn't define your data's meaning — it reveals the relationships that give it significance. ## The Logo The NornicDB logo represents three interwoven threads meeting at a central nexus point, symbolizing: - The three Norns working in concert - Data relationships converging to reveal meaning - Past, present, and future unified in the knowledge graph The gold accents represent moments of destiny — the points where threads cross and connections form. --- *"The Norns weave your data's destiny"*
