Arm B — hologram + hybrid
winner for scale query
p50 latency~0.022 ms
Speedup vs A~5,100×

Why: at research scale the pure-md wiki is fine. At “whole shebang” life dumps, scan cost and context pressure dominate.
Keep Obsidian. Put a holographic brain underneath. Hybrid keyword for exact phrases.
How / why install for yourself
Why: you want Karpathy compounding without your corpus destroying context / agent time.
