Evidence Memory


Memory must remember where it came from.

A useful private assistant needs durable context. A trustworthy one records source, time, authority, version, retention and the path by which one memory can be corrected or removed.

PROVENANCE

Source-bound

Every retained fact or summary points to the underlying document, event or approved record.

TIME

Version-aware

Current, superseded and conflicting states remain distinguishable instead of becoming one timeless answer.

CONTROL

Deletable

Retention class, legal hold, correction, erasure, re-index and export are operating functions, not promises.

Pilot boundary

Evidence Memory begins as a versioned pilot on a bounded corpus. Suitability is tested for retrieval quality, temporal correctness, access separation, deletion and rebuild before it becomes an operating dependency.

Remanentia is relevant public engineering evidence for local-first memory, retrieval and temporal reasoning. It remains an actively developed project; an engagement must freeze the exact version and acceptance boundary.

Keep durable context without creating an ungoverned shadow archive.

Define source, time, access and deletion before memory becomes operational.
