abstract: >-
  Persistent cognitive memory for AI agents and edge devices.
  Implements Hebbian learning, 3-tier memory architecture (Cowan 2001),
  hybrid decay curves (Wixted 2004), spreading activation (Anderson 1984),
  and knowledge graphs with Long-Term Potentiation. Single binary, runs offline.
