What it means to remember
A conversation can be stored without becoming part of a life. ALEPH's memory work is concerned with the harder transition: preserving experiences with their sources, relating them to people and unfinished intentions, and retrieving the right part of a past when it can matter again.
The Memory V2 workstream describes source-aware capture, durable episodes, familiarity, contextual association, deliberate recollection, consolidation and autobiographical work history. Together, these are pieces of a system that could learn the shape of a relationship over time.
The design of continuity
Familiarity should let ALEPH recognize an important person without searching every memory. Deeper recollection should bring back an earlier moment when the detail matters. An old interest might lie dormant and return. Corrections should remain visible as part of the story of how her understanding changed.
The real measure will be whether a remembered experience changes attention, conversation or action across elapsed time. That is how a memory stops being an archive entry and becomes part of who she is.
