How Achiral uses recent work moments, conversations, events, and handoffs as short-horizon operational memory.
Episodic memory is memory for what happened.
In Achiral, episodic memory covers recent conversations, events, task changes, handoffs, and work moments. It gives Chiro and personal Executive Assistants short-horizon context without turning every passing detail into permanent truth.
What it remembers
- recent conversation context
- handoffs and task activity
- decisions still close to the current work
- events that may matter again soon
How it behaves
Episodic memory decays faster than semantic or core memory. When an episode is reused, reinforced, or shown to be important, it can become easier to retrieve. When it stops mattering, it should fade.
This is the memory type closest to ordinary work continuity: "What just happened, and why does it matter now?"
For the broader lifecycle, see ACT-R memory.
