## Description
Nornicdb is a low-latency, Graph + Vector, Temporal MVCC with all sub-ms HNSW search, graph traversal, and writes. Uses Neo4j Bolt/Cypher and qdrant's gRPC drivers so you can switch with no changes. Then, adding intelligent features like schemas, managed embeddings, LLM reranking+inferrence, GPU acceleration, Auto-TLP, Memory Decay, and MCP server.
