Memory layers

An informal architecture shorthand for separating memory by retention, scope, or function, such as working, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory.

Example

Name the memory type, retention policy, and access boundary instead of relying on the layer label alone.

The distinction that matters

Informal architecture shorthand; implementations divide and persist memory differently.
