Zero Hallucination
Answer from knowledge and memory; no basis, no answer.
Why It Matters
Generic AI confidently makes things up. Zero hallucination means AI answers from trusted knowledge and memory — and says "I don't know" when it doesn't.
- Which knowledge is the answer from?
- Is there a clear source?
- What happens when uncertain?
- Can it decline to answer?

In high-trust settings, the knowledge sources and evidence behind an answer can be recorded into a trust ledger for traceability and evidence preservation.
Better to say "I don't know" than to invent a confident wrong answer.
