Summary

TYTAN combines symbolic checks, model inference and targeted user questions to construct an analytic semantic layer.

Across seven reference databases, the system reached all expert-corrected entities and features, executed all 1,678 self-generated retrieval claims, and matched 92 to 100 percent of semantic roles; a blind ten-table test recovered the verified entity structure. The evidence is limited to the eight evaluated databases.
