02 |WHAT YOU GET
Memory with a history. Every fact knows when it was recorded, true and learned.
Supersede rather than delete
Three independent clocks
Chains you can follow
Contradictions kept
Answer about the past
Every change is traceable
03 |WHY IT MATTERS
What overwriting throws away. The past decision, the wrong answer and the proof.
Debuggable
When an agent gets something wrong, you can see exactly what it knew and when.
Tri-temporal
Three clocks separate when a fact was recorded, when it held true and when it was learned, so time questions have exact answers.
Reconciled deliberately
Contradictions stay explicit and are reconciled on purpose rather than blurred into one value.
