Chunks

Learn in five minutes

• A chunk is a piece you store and retrieve.
• Too large and the window fills with neighbors. Too small and the fact splits.
• Overlap is a choice you record.
• Headings often make better boundaries than a fixed character count.
• There is no universal chunk size. Test it on your notes.

A policy split across two chunks can retrieve only the exception. Keep the rule and the exception in the same chunk or retrieve both on purpose.
