ARCHITECTURE · TIME + MEMORY

FORMALIZATION CANDIDATE

History is evidence. Memory is an interpretation of that history.

The candidate temporal architecture separates measured time, canonical life history and rebuildable memory projections.

STATUS BOUNDARY

This ownership model is formalized in the candidate agent contracts. It is not yet an accepted stable OpenRGD contract.

OWNERSHIP

Time, history and memory are deliberately separate.

01

Robot Chronograf

Owns time measurement, clock domains, uncertainty and temporal anchor issuance/resolution.

02

RGD Physics

Owns Chronon semantics, causal/physics metadata and Aion payload semantics in the candidate model.

03

Embodied Runtime

Owns agent goals, cognition adapters, capability execution and memory projection/recall.

04

Projection stores

Facts, skills, episodes, summaries and retrieval indexes are derived and rebuildable.

MEMORY MODEL

Later interpretation must not rewrite old evidence.

Chronons are append-only canonical evidence. Episodic, semantic, procedural, autobiographical and relationship memories are projections that may change, consolidate or be rebuilt while retaining references to the evidence they came from.

ONEIRIC PROVENANCE

Dreamed experience is not physical history.

Synthetic or imagined experiences may produce lessons or skill candidates, but the candidate contract requires them to remain distinguishable from observed physical events unless later validated physically.
