Reading source code tells you what the system does. It rarely tells you why. Why was this abstraction introduced? Why was another implementation rejected? Why is one dependency considered critical? Why is confidence low for a particular module? Developers spend countless hours rediscovering these answers. AI assistants do exactly the same. Contorium captures this missing dimension. It continuously builds a structured understanding
