Purpose: This document defines the Memory Lawyer Protocol, a set of rules governing how memory is created, accessed, and disputed within the system. It ensures that all memory operations are fair, transparent, and accountable, acting as a judicial-like framework for data integrity.
This protocol outlines the rules and procedures for managing, accessing, and disputing memory within the Agentic Codex. It acts as the “judicial review” for memory-related concerns.
Principles:
- Attribution: All memory entries must be attributable to an agent or system event.
- Integrity: Memories must be protected from unauthorized alteration.
- Contextual Retention: Memories are retained based on their relevance and the Trust Decay Model.
- Ephemeral vs. Retained: Clear distinction and rules for temporary vs. persistent memory.
Key Functions:
- Memory Access Control: Defines which agents can read, write, or delete specific memory segments.
- Dispute Resolution: Provides a human-readable log and a process for agents (or humans) to challenge the accuracy or validity of a memory entry.
- Retention Policies: Specifies rules for how long different types of memories are kept, linking to the Trust Decay Model.
- Auditing & Logging: Ensures comprehensive logging of all memory interactions for transparency and accountability.
- Memory Tokenization: Describes how memory tokens or compressed timelines are generated and used for efficient context recall.
