INSIDE THIS EDITION

A memory needs a reasonRecall and retention are differentA reversible interface

Fictional content.
A real local artifact.

A memory needs a reason

Store purpose, consent, expiry, and scope alongside any remembered detail.

Recall and retention are different

A useful retrieval test does not measure whether a fact should have been retained in the first place.

A reversible interface

Show the human what is remembered. Let them edit, expire, export, and delete it. Nothing in this prototype accesses real personal memory.

Created for the o book prototype. These are design ideas and invented examples, not findings from a real agent run.
