The memory pipeline is what makes recall possible
A loop without memory is only reactive. ASTRA's three-type memory architecture is what lets experience become lasting capability.
ExperienceEncodeStoreRecallConsolidateReinforce
Episodic
What happened, when, and with what context. The raw experience stream of the loop — linked to outcomes and reflections.
Semantic
Generalised knowledge distilled from repeated experience. The memory ASTRA can recall without replaying the original session.
Procedural
Learned routines and skills — compact strategies the loop can invoke instead of reasoning from scratch each time.

No memory is created from unconsented interaction. Every memory block carries provenance metadata, retention limits and can be deleted on request. Consent is a runtime property, not an afterthought.
