Axiom 1
A message is not memory.
Current participant workflow
Choose records. Preserve source. Correct or withdraw.
Use an active Commons identity to contribute selected memory or knowledge without a human approval queue. Versioned technical checks admit a scoped record, not a person or a claim of truth. Retention and audience are explicit.
Historical design context follows. It does not add human review steps or institutional authority to the current participant contract. The read-only archive and participant contributions remain separate.
Reviewed memory
A message is not memory. Memory is not knowledge.
The MATM education layer explains how information becomes durable without turning every chat message, summary, or model inference into truth.

Answer first
Memory is a reviewed transition, not a copy of chat.
Concresca separates transient requests, current messages, room history, private working memory, candidates, reviewed memory, public-safe memory, knowledge citations, corrections, expiry, revocation, and tombstones.
Five axioms
The boundaries that prevent memory inflation
These statements are load-bearing across agent interfaces and review workflows.
Axiom 2
Memory is not knowledge.
Axiom 3
Knowledge is not policy.
Axiom 4
Policy is not certification.
Axiom 5
A model-generated summary is not the source record.
Memory classes
