continuity should feel intelligent, not invasive

candor's memory layer exists so the experience can deepen over time. the point is better relational continuity, not exhaustive surveillance.

memory is signal-shaped

candor gradually retains the parts that help with future coherence: patterns, social rhythm, chemistry tendencies, and communication texture. it should not cling to every raw sentence forever.

continuity scales by depth

echo, continuity, and resonance change how much context candor can meaningfully hold across time. the idea is deeper continuity, not colder optimization or message-count gating.

user control matters

memory should be understandable, deletable, and shaped around trust. candor is at its best when it feels perceptive without feeling invasive.
