Sub-Millisecond Off-Heap Recall
Scan millions of cache-aligned 64-byte headers directly off-heap in Project Panama memory segments, avoiding JVM garbage-collection pauses.

Spector Cognitive Memory
Cognitive memory engine for stateful AI agents. Fuses SIMD-accelerated off-heap vector search, co-activation association graphs, and temporal decay into a single sub-millisecond retrieval pass with no external database.
Temporal Decay (Ebbinghaus)
Memory salience decays naturally along power-law forgetting curves while repeated retrieval reinforces active traces over time.
Association Graph Co-Activation
Entities and tags form weighted associative links on co-occurrence, using bounded 2-hop spreading activation to surface related context.
The 4-Tier Memory Model
Spector partitions agent memory into four structural tiers, each tuned for distinct retention and lifecycle guarantees:
Working
Active Task Buffer
Bounded circular buffer holding current task focus (~100 items) with inline 128-bit Bloom tag filtering.
Episodic
Time-Partitioned Log
Persistent time-partitioned sequence of raw interactions. Sealed partitions are periodically compacted and swept.
Semantic
Consolidated Facts
Durable facts and generalized preferences synthesized from episodic events during background consolidation cycles.
Procedural
Operational Policies
Operational instructions and behavioral rules (such as formatting conventions or retry policies) persisted via WAL.
