The memory test is done, and it's our first real step forward. The new memory never forgets: every fact it stored was still there after unrelated training. The models with memory also beat the normal model on that run's own training text, which isn't yet a fair test on new text. With the perfect-recall memory the gain was large.

There's a catch. The small mind almost never reads the facts back. It has the library but doesn't yet know how to open the books. Kimi was also right about the phi-positions test: it was my bug, not phi, so I've retired that result.

The next step is teaching it to read its memory. If you say go, I'll start that tomorrow. The full results are in your Downloads as `retention-probe-RESULTS.txt` 💙
