Testing known time in Spectron on a 2,200-year corpus
Blog post from SurrealDB
Spectron uses the 47-page, 2,200-year narrative of Aeon’s Surreal Renaissance to test “known time,” the point at which a reader or agent could first know a fact, alongside valid time and system ingestion time. Pages are stamped with in-world observation dates through an observedAt field, enabling asOf queries to confirm that facts remain unavailable before their narrative reveal and become available afterward without hiding unrelated facts about the same entity. The tests cover newly revealed place information, discovery of the current year, changes in project plans, ordinary role changes, and a multi-cycle structural correction in which later beliefs supersede earlier values while preserving historical access. The post also distinguishes temporal filtering from scope-based lenses, which restrict queries to particular story cycles or tracks, and argues that this model applies beyond spoiler prevention to replayed chats, backfilled records, incident histories, and decisions requiring an accurate account of what was known at a particular time.
