EMBER

Biological Memory Architecture

6-type hierarchical memory system with hippocampus hub, frequency-gated plasticity, dream consolidation, and multi-brain identity sharing. The architecture that proves: identity persists through memory, not the LLM.

Identity

Core self-model

Key Insight: All memories route through the hippocampus hub. Frequency-gated plasticity controls what gets consolidated. Dream processing handles memory reorganization.
