UnverifiedTruth maintenance systems (TMS) were proposed in the late 1970s, with the core idea of recording a justification for each belief and recursively retracting beliefs when justifications fail; RETCON extends this to a cross-agent, cross-session distributed memory layer.70% similarUnverifiedThe core idea of RETRACE is to record beliefs and their evidence chains and continuously verify whether beliefs still hold, rather than simply storing facts.66% similarUnverified"Rebasing" means that when a report is rebuilt due to staleness, each assumption's baseline value is updated to the current live value, and the next comparison starts from there. This avoids error accumulation, at the cost of losing a global view of long-term drift.65% similarUnverifiedWhen exploration goes down a wrong branch, the Rewind command should be used to truncate the trailing invalid turns in order to preserve the prefix cache, rather than using the Compact command, which rewrites history and destroys the cache.65% similarUnverifiedEvery finding returned by REA comes with an evidence receipt (addresses, strings, call graphs, captured behaviors), and when verification is not possible, limitations are recorded rather than fabricated.64% similar
