How Achiral represents reusable meaning: decisions, preferences, domain facts, processes, and stable organizational knowledge.
Semantic memory is memory for what is generally true or reusable.
In Achiral, semantic memory stores decisions, preferences, domain facts, process knowledge, and patterns that should survive beyond a single conversation or task.
What it remembers
- approved decisions and their rationale
- stable user or team preferences
- customer, project, or domain facts
- process knowledge and repeated work patterns
How it behaves
Semantic memory decays more slowly than episodic memory because it carries reusable meaning. It should still be governed: old facts can become stale, preferences can change, and organizational knowledge needs provenance.
Semantic memory is the bridge between recent episodes and durable core memory.
