Institutional Preface
The writings that follow are not commentary, opinion, or ongoing analysis.
They exist to establish a foundation.
Memory Safeguard was formed in response to a structural shift: human memory is no longer shaped solely by biological, cultural, or social processes. It is increasingly mediated by artificial systems whose logic, scale, and incentives differ fundamentally from those that formed human continuity.
Before addressing governance, ethics, or future implications, the underlying concepts must be clarified. Words such as memory, control, standardization, and continuity are often used without precision. This archive exists to stabilize those terms.
The texts are presented in a deliberate sequence. Each builds on the last. Together, they define the problem space within which Memory Safeguard operates.
This is not a living feed.
It is a reference point.
Further work may follow, but only after these foundations are understood.
