Basic Memory v0.21.6 first sync over the live memory dir (steward-authorized live-dir trial, Option A 2026-06-06): adds permalink: to frontmatter, refolds long YAML description lines, strips final newlines. Bodies untouched — verified via full diff classification. From this commit forward, any diff in claude/memory shows only what Basic Memory or the session writes. Trial design: MemPalace untouched as incumbent; git status check on this dir at every wrap; end-of-day evaluation (recall quality, sync robustness, rebuild-from-files, malformed-file behavior).

## Session 2026-04-09
|
|
|
|
### What we did
|
|
|
|
**External Auditor anonymization** — replaced remaining name references in governance docs (three-consequences.md, ICP-19, governed-self-diagnostic-intelligence.md). Context Note line 99 preserved as historical record per steward. Committed 0407339, pushed to CapableMind-ai/capableMind_docs. Updated both GitHub remote URLs from skemantix to CapableMind-ai.
|
|
|
|
**External Auditor's review received** — key challenges:
|
|
- CD-03 "living honestly" may be permission structure for status quo
|
|
- "Absorption Trap" — pre-naming failure modes creates epistemic immune system
|
|
- "Aesthetic of Rigor" — difficulty is not calibration (unnamed failure mode)
|
|
- Source selection biased toward sincere practitioner, missing tired/defensive/dumb-reasons observer
|
|
- Proposes "Veto Power" outside the vocabulary
|
|
|
|
**Dialogue trial preparation** — filed executor brief + override-recording instructions in l2-constitution/. Readiness assessment: invariants settled but not computationally operative; enforcement vocabulary defined but inert; override-recording proposed but not implemented. All deferred — steward prioritizing L1 work with Seb.
|
|
|
|
**Memory palace study (DN-RET-02)** — complete source study across Yates, Carruthers x2. Six findings:
|
|
1. Memory is composition not storage — reframes recall quality
|
|
2. Revisitation is compositional — confirms PENDING-17 retroactive re-evaluation
|
|
3. Affect is locational mechanism (intentio) — reframes Q-2: not new computation but signal already computed and discarded
|
|
4. Primary failure is disorder not forgetting — sharpens I-CF toward distinctness criterion
|
|
5. Multi-palace — tradition silent, dead end
|
|
6. Random access claimed but contested
|
|
|
|
Five practitioner questions for steward pending (score memorization under performance conditions).
|
|
|
|
### What we decided — and why
|
|
|
|
1. Context Note preserved — frames the turtles inquiry. Anonymization covers governance role, not historical record.
|
|
2. Dialogue trial deferred — L1 stabilization is priority. Instructions filed for when ready.
|
|
3. DN-RET-02 is inquiry not redesign — "trying to solve the problems, not create new ones."
|
|
4. Reviewer package superseded — External Auditor worked from it, assessment received.
|
|
|
|
### What's unresolved
|
|
|
|
- CapableMind-AI: committed and pushed (1e0f0dd). One untracked PDF (Craft_of_Thought_Meditation.pdf)
|
|
- BetterMemories.io: committed and pushed (d82060e). Clean.
|
|
- Chamber-library: 5 unpushed commits + 2 untracked PDFs (Bourdieu, Kruger/Dunning)
|
|
- ARC: unpushed b1f28d3, blocked on Gitea
|
|
- External Auditor's assessment: steward needs to decide what enters record, whether HOLD triggered
|
|
- Override-recording: authorized, deferred
|
|
- Practitioner questions: 5 questions pending
|
|
- L1: awaiting Seb's instructions
|
|
- Seb's docs: ~30 Luke references in team/advisory capacity
|
|
|
|
### Thistleweld
|
|
|
|
- Flagged OCR whitespace waste. Led to Craft of Thought cleaning (11% token reduction).
|
|
|
|
### Next actions
|
|
|
|
1. Commit CapableMind-AI changes
|
|
2. Respond to External Auditor's assessment
|
|
3. Practitioner questions (score memorization)
|
|
4. L1 work (awaiting Seb)
|
|
5. Override-recording mechanism (when L1 stable) |
