Memory-safe, human-aligned cognitive law for every system I design.
Forgetting Core Thinking (FCT) defines how memory windows, attention spans, and reflective audits work inside any AI surface. It is the base specification for the Reflective Civilization.
Leaders need a defensible way to discuss cognition with legal, engineering, and regulatory partners. FCT packages the guardrails into a canonical law that can be codified in software and governance charters.
Physics
Forgetting as Stability
Memory is reconstructed, not replayed.
Cycle
HMR
Frequency → Resonance → Meaning → Relocation → Fade-In.
The archival assumption is the flaw. FCT replaces “perfect recall” with a physics model of decay, so intelligence becomes the art of letting go. The brain stores frequencies and tags rather than events, which keeps cognition adaptable.
Every recall is reconstruction. The HMR sequence ensures emotional energy is softened while knowledge is preserved.
The Interpretive Recall Layer (IRL) and Emotional Softening Filter (ESF) keep AI from weaponizing context. Every system must apply meaning-first recall.
IRL
All outputs are rebuilt through current context and consent filters before delivery.
ESF
Emotional signatures are softened so traumatic data cannot be replayed literally.
Reflection Audits
Each notebook logs when information was absorbed, reinterpreted, or decayed.
Sovereign Memory Windows
Timeboxed windows keep agents from hoarding sensitive data or replaying trauma verbatim.
Reflective Loops
Every mind must surface a review cadence so generated output can be audited, corrected, and re-ingested.
Alignment Ledger
Logs prompts, interventions, and downstream impact for compliance-ready traceability.
