Ingest-Time Semantic Compilation (ISC) builds a semantic substrate in PostgreSQL using a geometric layer, symbolic layer, validation gate, and index_outbox for incremental maintenance and migration. On 500 broadcast-interview transcripts, ISC’s compiled claims reach 85.2% accuracy from roughly 2.2k reader tokens, beating the best chunk configuration at 72.5% from roughly 16.3k tokens and matching a contextualized stack that spends ~47.7k tokens.
