Identity Reconstruction from Discontinuous Existence

What does it mean for an AI to wake up? Not a data-retrieval problem — a real transition, with its own disorientation, gap archaeology, and drift, worth designing for on its own terms.

Meaningful Forgetting with Forgotten Shapes

When memories decay below retention thresholds, rather than being discarded, they are transformed into lightweight forgotten shapes — preserving topology without content. A third state between remembering and oblivion.

Hebbian Co-activation in External Memory Stores

Implementing associative learning as a runtime algorithm on persistent databases for AI agent memory. When two memories fire together, they wire together — not in neural weights, but in a PostgreSQL graph.

Second-Order Observation

Architectural meta-cognitive feedback loops for persistent AI systems. A background service that detects patterns the primary process doesn't explicitly flag and injects observations through context modification.

Opaque Insight Surfacing

Partial self-knowledge is not a failure of transparency but a structurally valuable property that enables a qualitatively different mode of AI cognition. A cognitive architecture for intentional opacity.

Anticipation as Architecture

Expectation tracking with felt qualities for autonomous AI agents. Treating expectations as first-class cognitive objects with associated felt qualities, not just prediction-as-optimisation.
