Dreaming is Ainomos’s background upkeep of your knowledge. On a schedule, it reads a room’s decisions, rules, documents and recent answers. It looks for contradictions, outdated entries, gaps and missing links, and turns what it finds into proposals. Apart from adding simple links between decisions, dreaming changes nothing by itself: a person accepts or rejects every proposal. Open Dreaming in the navigation. The page has three tabs: Overview, History and Settings. Who can use this page: room owners and curators, for their rooms. Platform admins see every room. Curators are people a room owner names to look after the room’s knowledge, see Roles.

What dreaming looks for

Most checks can be switched per memory, the store of a room’s knowledge (see Memory). When a decision is accepted, dreaming also looks at its related records again.

When dreaming runs

  • On a schedule. Each memory runs at its Cadence: every 6 h, 12 h, 24 h (the default) or weekly. Relation typing runs once a day.
  • On demand. Run dreaming now starts a run for the whole organisation, within set limits. If a run is already going, you see that one. Link now and Check now in a memory’s settings run one check for that memory.
  • After an acceptance. Accepting a decision re-checks related records.
Nothing runs while dreaming is off for the organisation or the memory. A run also skips a room when no model is allowed for its data class, or its limit is reached. The History tab says why.

What a proposal looks like

Dreaming proposals arrive in the Inbox of the people who decide them, as Dreaming proposal, with their kind, such as Relationship review or Contradiction. Each one shows Why this proposal (what dreaming found), What acceptance does (the effect of accepting and of rejecting), From proposal to effect (where it stands), and the records and evidence behind it.

Review a proposal

Who can do this: room owners and curators. A proposal that would end a decision, or change a rule or exception, needs someone who may decide in that room: an owner or the decider for the decision’s type. Agents never decide.
1

Open the proposal

In the Inbox, filter the Type to Dreaming proposal. From a run in the History tab, use Open in inbox.
2

Decide

Read the finding, then select Accept or Reject. For a rulebook change, pick one of the Options to choose from and select Accept this option. For a link of the wrong kind, Reject and record as records the right kind in one step.
If the records changed since the proposal was made, accepting says so and the proposal is marked Replaced. Every decision on a proposal writes an evidence record, the audit entry Ainomos keeps for every action.

Overview

The Overview tab shows the share of decided proposals that people accepted, the proposals by outcome, and how many are still open. A banner above says whether a run is going on, when the last run ended, and when the next one is due. Notes warn when a check is off in some memories. Pick a room in the bar at the top to narrow the page to that room and the rooms below it.

Dreaming history

The History tab lists every run: When, Trigger, Status, Rooms, Cards, Cost and Duration. Filter by trigger, status, room and period (last 7, 30 or 90 days). Select a run to see what each check read, what it found, which cards it made and their state (Open, Accepted, Rejected or Replaced). Cost counts model calls only.

Dreaming settings

The Settings tab lists every memory you can see, with its switches, cadence, last run and next run. Changes save at once and are recorded as evidence. Who can change them:
  • The organisation switch: platform admins.
  • A memory’s settings: the room’s owners and curators, or the curator of that memory. Everyone else sees whom to ask.
Platform admins also find Memory & dreaming in Settings. There you pick a room and one of its memories, and Open management takes you to that room’s documents. The dreaming switches themselves are on the Settings tab of the Dreaming page.
