Qortex

Collective memory & governance for fleets of domain-specific agents

Experimental

Qortex
Collective Memory

A memory framework which aims to define the bedrock of information in which coordinating agents rely on.

An Experimental WIP

Overview

Qortex is an experimental memory framework which attempts to mimic how collectives use, organize and learn as they operate towards their goals.

It uses a custom derived "Memory Band" architecture built for an analogy of my understanding of how collectives function.

The core idea - four-band memory

Governance of agent memory is just as important as retrieval.

  • Embodied
    What an agent is — skills, experience, intuition, heuristics, capabilities, guardrails, etc.
  • Personal
    Who the agent is coordinating with — memory scoped to an individual agent/human, so context about an entity carries across sessions.
  • Externalized
    What the agent has recorded — documents and archived artifacts with vector-indexed recall, shared and retrievable across the collective.
  • Institutionalized
    What the organization holds — codified policies and SOPs. Update requires a Collective Alignment Session: a proposal, an input window, and a human-approved commit.

Adjacent projects

These are related projects which uses a subset of the same memory system as Qortex, early, personal and indev.

Work together

Operating a fleet of agents that need to learn without forgetting their rules?

I'm taking on a small number of design partners — particularly in regulated verticals where governed rule evolution is a hard requirement, not a curiosity.
