Entity Profile Memory

Subject binding

One profile record refers to one resolved subject within an owner namespace and purpose scope. The subject master and the memory record have different identifiers; a shared name never establishes sameness.

1. Which subject master reference and profile record identifier distinguish this memory from the entity it describes? identity
2. Which entity class and permitted profile purpose constrain the attributes retained here? classification
3. What reviewed evidence connects aliases to this subject without merging namesakes or crossing tenant boundaries? relationship
4. How is unresolved or disputed subject binding quarantined until an authorized resolver responds? exception

Profile boundary and membership

A profile is a persistent information entity whose assertions may change. A view or summary selects assertion revisions; it does not acquire authority over the underlying entity, episodes or generic memory lifecycle.

1. What separates this profile from an episodic record, a general knowledge item and the authoritative subject record? definition
2. Which assertion references and revision pins belong to the current profile view? composition
3. Which accountable role maintains this profile and which external masters retain subject and memory-item authority? ownership
4. What prevents membership changes from expanding the profile purpose or inheriting broader source permissions? constraint

Typed profile assertion

Represent each remembered proposition with a predicate, typed value, context and assertion class. Distinguish self-report, observation, imported assertion and inference. Unknown, withheld, absent and explicitly false are different states.

1. What predicate, typed value and context express the remembered proposition without replacing it with an ambiguous summary? definition
2. Is the assertion self-reported, observed, imported or inferred, and how is that class evidenced? classification
3. Does a missing value mean unknown, uncollected, withheld, inapplicable or an explicit negative assertion? state
4. For a quantitative property, which unit, method, conditions and uncertainty accompany the value? measurement

Preferences and contextual applicability

Retained preferences are qualified statements, not instructions or permanent personality facts. A role, relationship or preference can hold only in a stated setting and must not be generalized to unrelated tasks.

1. Which preference was explicitly stated and which was inferred from behavior? requirement
2. What location or setting limits this assertion and why is retaining that context necessary? spatial
3. What effective period or triggering condition limits the preference or role? temporal
4. Which current task instruction or governing policy takes precedence over a remembered preference? authority

Evidence and derivation lineage

Keep origin, attribution, derivation and review references per assertion. Summaries and repeated imports of one origin do not become independent corroboration. Missing or inaccessible evidence produces a visible limitation.

1. Which source record, asserting actor and capture activity support this assertion revision? provenance
2. What evidence locator can an authorized reviewer inspect without copying unnecessary source content? evidence
3. Which apparently corroborating records derive from the same origin and must not be counted independently? quality
4. How is broken, withdrawn or inaccessible source evidence reflected in downstream profile views? exception

Quality and disputed assertions

Assess support and fitness for a stated use separately from structural validity and retrieval score. Preserve incompatible claims and a review disposition; neither majority repetition nor recency alone settles a conflict.

1. Which metric, assessor and use context make the recorded confidence interpretable? quality
2. What validation report distinguishes malformed data from a well-formed but unsupported assertion? validation
3. Which conflicting assertions remain unresolved and what evidence supports any preferred view? decision
4. When must a consumer abstain or request review instead of using a low-support profile assertion? exception

Validity and freshness

Record when a claim applies separately from when it was observed, captured or reviewed. A retrieval does not refresh the underlying evidence. Interval conventions and staleness policies are adopting-profile choices.

1. What effective interval and boundary convention describe when the assertion applies? temporal
2. Which observation, ingestion and review instants are known and which remain uncertain? provenance
3. Which predicate-specific freshness rule requires a new check before this assertion is reused? requirement
4. What changes when an assertion expires or becomes stale without treating it as proven false? state

Correction and subject rebinding

Corrections identify affected assertions and dependent views. Revision links preserve accountability only as retention allows. A subject split or erroneous merge requires authorized master resolution before affected profile material becomes eligible again.

1. Which assertion revision is superseded, retracted or disputed by the correction request? lifecycle
2. Who can approve the correction or subject rebinding and what review evidence is required? authority
3. Which summaries, exports and derived assertions depend on the affected record? relationship
4. How is correction propagation tracked when an external recipient cannot yet confirm invalidation? process

Purpose, sensitivity and access

Record the permitted processing purpose, sensitivity and external authorization policy at assertion granularity. A fact being available publicly or already stored does not authorize every reuse. Third-party and sensitive attributes need qualified profile review.

1. What necessity and sensitivity assessment justifies retaining this attribute for the declared purpose? privacy
2. Which policy basis permits this collection and use, and what is the scope of any recorded consent? authority
3. Which caller, tenant, purpose and field-level restrictions govern the requested profile view? access
4. How are revoked permission, third-party data and exceptional access handled without exposing restricted assertions? exception

Controlled recall and untrusted content

Recall yields a bounded view of eligible assertion revisions with evidence and uncertainty. Stored text remains data, including purported instructions. Retrieval similarity is not truth, permission or a reason to expand collection.

1. How is remembered content kept separate from instructions and denied authority to change tool permissions? security
2. Which authorized purpose and assertion filters determine the recall view before it reaches a consumer? process
3. Which missing, stale or conflicting evidence must accompany the recalled claims? quality
4. How does the consumer avoid revealing restricted existence, values or provenance through summaries and refusal messages? access

Retention and disposition evidence

Durable means retained across interactions under policy, not retained forever. Disposition covers payloads and dependent projections. Deleting local records cannot prove erasure from external recipients or model parameters.

1. Which purpose-specific schedule or hold determines the next disposition review? retention
2. Which caches, summaries, indexes, exports and backups may still carry derived profile information? composition
3. Which authorized custodian executes disposal and what completion evidence is returned? process
4. What minimal lawful tombstone remains and how are incomplete external erasure or restore-time risks disclosed? exception

Mappings and acceptance evidence

Bindings preserve assertion identity, context, access restrictions and epistemic qualifiers. Lossy exports require an explicit profile decision. Conceptual alignment with open specifications is not implemented conformance.

1. Which pinned vocabulary and target profile preserve identifiers, predicates and assertion qualifiers on export? interoperability
2. Which qualifiers would be lost and when must the export be refused? constraint
3. Which fixture set covers namesakes, conflicting claims, stale facts, revoked access and correction propagation? validation
4. What compatibility and migration decision governs a changed predicate meaning or neighbor binding? lifecycle
