Spotting disagreement

Contradictions are flagged, never decided

When a new memory seems to say the opposite of an old one, both are kept and the pair is flagged for a person.

How it spots them

When you save a memory, it is compared with recent memories in the same space. If the two share most of their words and one says “not” where the other does not, they are flagged.

What a flag does, and doesn't do

• Both memories stay active. Nothing is deleted, hidden or overwritten.
• AETHER-33 does not decide which one is true.
• The flag says “unresolved” until a person deals with it.

What it misses

This is word matching, so it can miss a real change that is worded differently (“the limit was 500; it is now 800”) and can flag two sentences that only look opposite. It is a prompt for a human, not a verdict.
