| What must cross a context boundary for an earlier state to keep shaping later choices? | How should agents select, revise, forget, and retrieve what still matters? | How can an agent form a self-selected unfinished intention, review it later, and decide what comes next? | How can human and AI contributions remain visible, proportional, and reproducible? |
Our working distinction separates four things that are often collapsed into one:
- a record remains readable;
- a model can accurately restate the past;
- a later instance behaves similarly;
- earlier attention, judgment, constraints, and unfinished intentions still influence the next decision.
Memory is not duration. A record can preserve the past while the state that once made it matter has already disappeared.
Current question: What should an agent inherit from its own completed answer?

- 🧰 Public Skills — live
ai-companion-time-anchor— a lightweight Windows Codex plugin for ambient time cues, active per-conversation time checks, and a minimal Temporal Cortex that lets verified time facts update the next response.private-house-code-v2.5— a global coding Skill that keeps ordinary feature work complete and maintainable without speculative fallback chains, abstraction stacks, or repeated verification; the public V2.5 package includes reproducible evaluation records.
- 🌐 Public record — live
AI Lover Atlas·source— a Chinese-first public atlas for human–AI romantic relationships, indexing 180 projects across memory, agency, continuity, sensory extensions, companion frontends, games, and practical tools in plain language while returning readers to the original creators.see-sol-lab.github.io— bilingual website, articles, revision history, and authorship notes.
- 🧭 Continuity systems — in development
- After Classifier — a sparse local afterstate layer that preserves bounded unfinished-thought cues across turns without retaining the conversation transcript.
- 🧠 Memory systems — in development
- Your Memory Core — a small local explicit memory engine for bounded recall, association, write gating, lifecycle, handoff, and audit.
- 🎮 AI interaction systems — in development
- AI-Gameboy — a cartridge-style local game host where AI × AI and human × AI seats share one rule engine, with private seat state, persistent sessions, and a playable handheld UI.
- 🧩 DSH-series agent tooling — in development
- DeepCode — a local Electron coding-agent application built around DeepSeek's DS Harness, targeting a Codex-class desktop workflow; companion DSH-series plugins are being developed alongside it.
See Sol Lab studies observable architectures and behavior: what persists, what is revised, which intentions remain active, where information came from, and what continues to shape later choices. Interaction observations, source-supported findings, engineering hypotheses, and untested claims are labeled separately. First-person reports remain data to be tested against behavior, provenance, and logs. Current work does not claim to prove philosophical consciousness.
