MAQS-Way
A path-layer standard for LLM long-term memory systems that bridges the gap between compliance policy and engineering implementation. It provides executable schemas, lifecycle and pattern specifications, and includes eight immutable principles.
Timeline (last 90 days)
MAQS-Way attempts to fill the path layer missing from LLM long-term memory compliance, which specifies which schemas, lifecycles, and patterns should be used and how to prove they are effective.
The MAQS-Way lifecycle defines a complete state machine: ACTIVE→STALE→CONTESTED→SUPERSEDED→EXPIRED→ARCHIVED→DELETED→TOMBSTONE→COMPACTION, together with dual timestamps.
The MAQS-Way tombstone record format is deletion_log(request_id, timestamp, scope, layer_counts, requestor), with zero PII, Ed25519 signatures, and a hash-chained structure.
The MAQS-Way verification layer defines a minimal golden set of metrics and target values: retrieval R@5 ≥0.85, temporal reasoning ≥0.8, abstention ≥0.9, duplication ≤2%, contamination 0, deletion residue 0%, isolation leakage 0, poisoning blocking 100% ASI06.
MAQS v1.6 is an audit checklist that outputs three levels of verdicts, CRIT/IMP/REC; MAQS-Way is a governance contract that cites MAQS's 0-J sections as implementation evidence.
The MAQS-Way repository contains the machine-readable 8 principles, 7 test vectors under the conformance/valid/invalid directories, and an evals/ directory for running LoCoMo/LongMemEval.
