Coach Artie — Memory Analysis

What does an AI agent actually remember? Coach Artie has been accumulating memory for as long as he's been running, so I embedded all of it, clustered it, and drew the map.

I expected noise. What came back was sorted — clean clusters, things filed where they belonged, distinctions I never asked him to make.

Reading it was the strange part. The clusters kept surfacing episodes I'd completely forgotten about, sitting right there where he'd put them. He really was listening the whole time, and thinking about what was said.

Beyond the static map, the analysis tracks how the memory changes — which clusters grow, when memories form, and how the topology shifts over time.
