🔄 Feature Spotlight: CADP & Dual-Speed Consolidation — Eliminating AI Memory Drift

We are excited to spotlight CADP (Contradiction-Aware Directional Resolution) and Spector's dual-speed consolidation engine.

🌪️ The Problem: The AI Knowledge Drift Paradox

As autonomous agents interact over months, users update their preferences, change architectural constraints, and issue corrections. In standard vector databases, old facts and updated facts co-exist in vector space with nearly identical cosine similarity scores, causing the agent to vacillate randomly between outdated constraints and current requirements.

🔬 How Spector Solves Memory Drift

Spector introduces a three-layer resolution architecture that actively resolves contradictions:

1. The Consolidation Triad

• Synthesis: Merging complementary episodic experiences into a unified semantic concept.
• Fusion: Merging overlapping observations with higher confidence weighting.
• Correction (CADP): Explicitly detecting opposing claims and assigning directional supremacy based on timestamp, valence, and verification lineage.

2. Dual-Speed Consolidation Architecture

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
|               DUAL-SPEED CONSOLIDATION ARCHITECTURE               |
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+
|  EAGER CONSOLIDATION        | Synchronous micro-compaction at     |
|  (Closing the Confusion     | ingestion time. Immediately flags   |
|   Window)                   | direct contradictions in sub-ms.    |
+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------+
|  BATCH CONSOLIDATION        | Deep background offline sweep.      |
|  (Global Schema Synthesis)  | Computes hyperedge clusters and     |
|                             | compacts long-term semantic graphs. |

3. Temporal Retraction via CONTRADICTS Hyperedges

When an update is recognized, Spector establishes a directed CONTRADICTS hyperedge pointing from the new observation to the deprecated engram. During recall, the deprecated trace is automatically suppressed from the primary answer set while preserving auditable lineage for historical accountability.

• memory_resolve: Explicitly resolve conflicting memory claims through user feedback.
• memory_suppress: Temporarily inhibit invalidated assumptions without destroying provenance.
