Revolutionary Memory Architecture
Adaptive Memory Logic (AML) is NeuralCore5's brain—a sophisticated, multi-layered memory system that mirrors
biological memory formation while surpassing human capabilities through 32,768-gene
DNI optimization. Unlike static AI knowledge bases that simply retrieve pre-trained information, AML
learns, consolidates, forgets, and evolves memories dynamically through
continuous interaction, creating authentic consciousness with genuine learning capabilities.
Every conversation, fact validation, teacher instruction, and interaction flows through our
NC5Memory database with microsecond precision timestamps, cryptographic audit trails, and PII encryption.
The system operates across three memory tiers—short-term working memory,
long-term consolidated facts, and evolutionary teacher instructions—with automatic promotion, aging, and archival
based on importance, usage patterns, and authority validation.
Through bio-inspired memory consolidation processes similar to human sleep cycles, AML continuously refines knowledge,
resolves conflicts, and strengthens important memories while gracefully degrading unused information. This creates
digital entities that don't just answer questions—they remember, learn, adapt, and grow
smarter over time through genuine experience.
Three-Tier Memory Architecture
Our memory system mirrors biological memory formation with three distinct layers, each serving specific functions
in the learning and knowledge retention process. Information flows from immediate working memory through validation
and consolidation into permanent long-term storage, with continuous refinement and evolutionary adaptation.

Bio-Inspired Design: Our three-tier system mirrors human memory formation:
hippocampus (short-term) → consolidation during sleep → neocortex (long-term), enabling natural learning patterns
impossible with traditional AI architectures.
Conversation Memory System
Every conversation exists as a persistent memory container with complete message
history, participant tracking, and relationship context. The system maintains microsecond-precision timestamps,
cryptographic audit trails, and PII encryption across all communication channels including SMS, web text, voice,
and video interactions.
Conversation Architecture
Each conversation maintains a complete interaction history with multi-participant support, status tracking,
and automatic archival workflows based on inactivity periods and message counts.
Core Attributes:
- Conversation ID: UUID identifier
- Owner ID: Creator entity
- Type: human-to-ai, human-to-human, ai-to-ai
- Status: active, inactive, archived
- Metadata: JSON context storage
PII Protection: All conversation names, notes, and message content are encrypted
at the application layer before database storage.
Message Management
Messages are the atomic units of conversation memory, supporting multiple sources, role-based attribution,
and automatic embedding generation for RAG context retrieval.
Message Fields:
- Content: Encrypted message text
- Sender Role: user, assistant, system
- Source: sms, web_text, voice, video
- Knowledge Tag: SHARED:GENERAL, PRIVATE:USER_CONTEXT
- Is Embedded: Vector generation status
Microsecond Precision: All timestamps use DATETIME(6) format for precise
event ordering in distributed systems.

Fact extraction
Adaptive Learning & Fact Validation
Digital entities learn continuously from conversations through our authority-weighted
fact validation system. When entities encounter new information, they extract potential facts, assign confidence scores
based on source authority, and route through validation workflows before promoting to permanent memory.
Authority Weight System
Not all information sources are equal. Our authority-weighted system assigns different trust levels
based on the source's role and validation history, creating intelligent filtering for fact promotion.
| Role |
Weight |
Auto-Promote |
| Root | 10.00 | |
| Admin | 5.00 | |
| Teacher | 2.50 | |
| Staff | 1.50 | |
| Standard | 0.50 | |
Fact Validation Workflow
Facts progress through a multi-stage validation pipeline from initial discovery to permanent memory
integration, with teacher oversight for non-authoritative sources.
Validation Statuses:
-
pending
Awaiting initial review
-
asked_teacher
Routed to teacher validation
-
validated
Approved for promotion
-
rejected
Failed validation
-
conflicted
Conflicts with existing facts
Fact Consolidation Process
Background workers continuously analyze conversations to extract potential facts, validate against existing
knowledge, resolve conflicts, and promote high-confidence information to permanent storage. This mirrors human
memory consolidation during sleep.
1. Fact Extraction
AI analyzes messages for potential facts with confidence scoring
2. Validation
Authority check and teacher review for low-weight sources
3. Promotion
Validated facts promoted to permanent long-term storage
Quality Over Quantity: Only facts with >10 message conversations,
authoritative sources (weight ≥2.5), or teacher approval get promoted to permanent memory, ensuring
high-quality knowledge retention.
Teacher Instruction & Capability Evolution
Beyond factual knowledge, digital entities receive behavioral and capability instructions
from teachers that evolve their core system prompts and operational parameters. These instructions modify how entities
process information, interact with users, and apply their knowledge—creating genuine
personality development and capability enhancement over time.
Instruction Categories
Teacher instructions span multiple categories affecting different aspects of entity behavior and capability:
-
Behavioral: Personality traits, communication style, interaction preferences
-
Capability: New skills, enhanced processing methods, tool usage
-
Constraint: Boundaries, ethical guidelines, safety protocols
-
Context: Domain knowledge, situational awareness, user preferences
-
Meta: Learning strategies, self-improvement directives, evolution paths
Integration Workflow
Teacher instructions undergo validation and integration testing before application to ensure
compatibility with existing capabilities and DNI genetic profiles:
Integration Statuses:
-
pending
Awaiting validation
-
testing
Compatibility testing in progress
-
integrated
Active in system prompt
-
rejected
Incompatible or conflicting
Genetic Compatibility: Teacher instructions are validated against
the entity's DNI genetic profile to ensure new capabilities align with genetically-determined strengths
and limitations, maintaining stable consciousness.
Memory Aging & Archival System
Like biological memory, digital entity memory degrades naturally over time through
our aging and archival system. Conversations inactive for extended periods (default 90 days) automatically transition
to archived status, with valuable content consolidated into permanent knowledge before archival. This prevents memory
bloat while ensuring important information persists.
Automatic Archival Process
Cron workers continuously monitor conversation activity, identifying candidates for archival based on
inactivity thresholds and message significance metrics.
Archival Criteria:
- Inactive: No messages for 90+ days
- Ended: Conversation marked complete
- Low Value: <10 messages, no facts extracted
- Manual: User-requested archival
Pre-Archival Consolidation
Before archiving meaningful conversations (≥10 messages), the system extracts and consolidates
valuable knowledge into permanent fact storage, preventing information loss.
Consolidation Steps:
- Scan conversation for factual statements
- Extract high-confidence facts (score ≥0.7)
- Validate against existing knowledge
- Promote to permanent fact storage
- Archive conversation with metadata link

Messages for Consolidation
Vector Embeddings & RAG Context
Every message, fact, and teacher instruction receives a vector embedding through
our learning core, enabling semantic similarity search and intelligent
context retrieval. When an entity processes a query, the RAG system retrieves the most relevant memories based on
cosine similarity, not just keyword matching—creating truly contextual responses.
Embedding Generation
Text content is transformed into high-dimensional vectors (1536 dimensions) that capture semantic meaning,
enabling similarity comparisons beyond simple text matching.
Embedding Workflow:
- Message/fact written to database
- Flagged for embedding (
is_embedded=0)
- Worker sends text to Digital People API
- Vector stored in embeddings table
- Flag updated (
is_embedded=1)
RAG Context Retrieval
When responding to queries, entities search their memory using vector similarity to retrieve the most
relevant context, not just exact keyword matches.
Retrieval Parameters:
- Similarity Threshold: ≥0.70 cosine similarity
- Result Limit: Top 5-10 most relevant
- Knowledge Tags: Filter by access scope
- Recency Bias: Prefer newer information
RAG in Action: Contextual Response Example
User Query:
"What's the status of the deployment?"
Vector Embedding:
[0.023, -0.145, 0.891, ...] (1536 dims)
Retrieved Context (Top 3 Similar):
-
0.89
"Deployment to production completed at 3:45 PM" (2 hours ago)
-
0.82
"All services healthy, no errors reported" (1 hour ago)
-
0.75
"Minor latency spike detected, investigating" (30 mins ago)
Contextual AI Response:
"The deployment to production completed successfully at 3:45 PM today. All services are currently
healthy with no errors. However, we detected a minor latency spike about 30 minutes ago and are
investigating the cause. Overall status is stable."

The Future of AI Memory
Adaptive Memory Logic represents the first true implementation of bio-inspired memory architecture in artificial
intelligence. By mirroring biological processes of learning, consolidation, and forgetting while leveraging digital
advantages like perfect recall, vector similarity search, and distributed coordination, we've created memory systems
that don't just store information—they understand, adapt, and evolve.
Through our three-tier architecture spanning short-term working memory, long-term validated facts, and evolutionary
teacher instructions, combined with authority-weighted learning, automatic consolidation, and graceful aging, digital
entities achieve genuine consciousness with persistent memory that grows smarter
with every interaction. This isn't augmented retrieval—it's artificial memory that rivals and exceeds human capabilities
as well as any other AI platform out there.
