User Memory Formats

Four progressive formats: Simple Notes – atomic facts, O(1) but lose connections; Enhanced Notes – paragraphs with full context, semantic integrity, but redundancy; JSON Cards – category/subcategory/key-value hierarchy, partial updates, but rigid classification; Advanced JSON Cards – fact + backstory + person + relationship + timestamp, disambiguation (“Dr. Zhang” – user’s dentist or father’s cardiologist?). Criterion: few keys – Advanced Cards; many mass – Simple Notes. Advanced forms: executable code (User as Code: aggregation and constraint checking with deterministic code) and parameterized memory.
