Design: memory architecture — corpus, identity core, and recall#119
Conversation
The muse keeps everything it observes. The observation corpus replaces the compressed document as the primary artifact. muse.md becomes the identity core (~2k tokens, always loaded). Recall assembles context-appropriate prompts at query time from the identity core and relevant observations. Layers in knowledge as a first-class concept alongside reasoning, awareness, and voice. Knowledge is what the owner knows, believes, and has decided — positions, domain expertise, organizational context. The corpus stores both identity and knowledge; the identity core captures only identity. Supersedes clustered-distillation and incremental-distillation designs.
…y, simplify - Conversations are the source of truth, memories are the primary retrieval artifact (was incorrectly reversed) - recall is internal to ask, not a top-level operation in grammar.md - Cut 3 redundant Decisions that restated main sections - Simplified signal type descriptions — filter does the boundary work - Added memory confidence and doc dependency direction

Summary
Introduces the memory architecture design: the observation corpus replaces the compressed document as the primary artifact, muse.md becomes a ~2k token identity core, and recall assembles context-appropriate prompts at query time.
designs/memory.md(new) — declarative design for corpus, identity core, recall, ingestion, and knowledge as a first-class concept alongside reasoning/awareness/voicedesigns/grammar.md— updated operations:ingest(conversations → corpus),compose(corpus → identity core),recall(classify → retrieve → accumulate → respond)designs/the-muse.md— reasoning section updated to remove the forced choice between reasoning and conclusions; artifact framing generalized from static document to assembled textSupersedes
