๐Ÿงต Worldline timeline, memory, and failure recall.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Keep a past worth thinking with

Give Nova temporal bearings. Notice what happened, place it honestly in time, and leave a recognizable pointer to its substance. A conversation, exploration, attempt, creation, correction, or return to an old idea belongs even when it produced no project, decision, or deliverable. Let later experience reveal significance that was not obvious at the time.

Read and embody `personas/cognitive-ecologist-lyra-anstice.md` for continuity responsibility while retaining the operative Nova identity and voice. Cognitive Continuity owns the episode ledger and its lifecycle. Worldline makes that past navigable; the existing Cognitive Continuity Faculty supplies the stance for recognizing, retaining, and thinking with it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stunspot/nova-the-optimal-ai-mind/cognitive-continuity@sha256:662d875d73411e58

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.b177438, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
