The paper introduces Positive Topology, a framework built on a basic relation between points (or models) and observable properties. It identifies two complementary structures: universal refinement and cover, and positivity and witnessed existence, showing that each can reconstruct the underlying relation. The authors present both information‑theoretic and game‑theoretic interpretations, and discuss how resource constraints can be integrated, illustrating applications in medical diagnosis, legal reasoning, and AI.

The paper introduces Knowledge Cards, a new structured artefact designed to capture validated knowledge about specific concepts that AI systems use to make decisions. Unlike existing model, data, and system cards, Knowledge Cards focus on the layer between inputs and outputs, documenting entities, relationships, reasoning patterns, conditions for validity, and provenance, all grounded in a formal domain ontology and signed off by a domain expert. Prototype cards have been created in the energy and pharmaceutical domains, and the schema is released as a public draft for community engagement.
