The FST (finite-state transducer) gazetteer prior is the structure that lets the neural classifier benefit from everything Who's On First already knows. The neural model knows grammar; the gazetteer knows places. The FST is the bridge — pre-computed at build time so the classifier can consult it at inference time without paying gazetteer-lookup costs per token.

The neural classifier doesn't know what Boston is. It knows that the

This is the design reference for the work that fills the WOF hierarchy gap. It synthesizes the architectural decisions reached during the v0.6.1 postmortem and the subsequent design consult.
