Core 0.3.1 Release Notes Behavioral Memory: Self-Adapting Core Directives What's New A new memory type called "behavioral memory" that explicitly adapts unit behavior based on user requests while keeping all learned concepts intact. Inspired by genetic memory in humans, this approach enables dynamic behavioral adaptation through self-modifying core directives. Genetic memory will be at the heart of a significant number of major Core updates. Key Changes • Explicit Adaptation: What was implicit is now extremely explicit • Selective Activation: Activates only when reasoning requires it • Preserved Knowledge: All conceptual memory remains unchanged • Dynamic Core Directives: Functions as self-adapting instructions embedded deep within each unit How It Works Behavioral memory acts as a layer between knowledge and behavior: • Analyzes your requests • Activates when needed • Adapts core directives in real-time • Preserves all learned concepts Examples in Practice Behavioral adaptations can happen in two ways: 1. Explicit requests: Directly ask for specific behaviors 2. Implicit learning: Units infer preferences from your conversation patterns • Notation Preferences: Ask a unit to use "B" for billions instead of spelling it out • Communication Style: Request formal language for reports or casual tone for brainstorming • Output Formatting: Have units always present data in tables vs. paragraphs • Technical Depth: Adjust from high-level summaries to detailed technical explanations • Response Structure: Switch between bullet points, numbered lists, or flowing prose • Domain Language: Use industry-specific terminology (e.g., "commits" vs "updates" for developers) Units continuously adapt based on your interactions, refining their behavior over time. Each adaptation persists until you request a change or reset the behaviors entirely. Impact Units now explicitly adjust their behavior to match your needs without forgetting what they've learned. Think of it as dynamic core directives that activate based on context - similar to how genetic memory provides inherited adaptive responses in biological systems. Users can reset behavioral memory at any time by simply asking units to reset their behaviors. Migration Automatic. No action required.
