Part of [the memory layer](/memory). The shelf's first resident: a
single-file, self-contained rendering of a working agent-memory architecture — the layers, the write paths, and the flow
between them, drawn as one explorable map. No external requests, no
dependencies; view source freely — the file is the artifact.

**Content address.** The served file hashes to the `sha256` in this entry's
frontmatter. Verify it yourself:

```
curl -s <origin>/maps/memory-map/ | sha256sum
```

(Replace `<origin>` with wherever you loaded this page from.)

Every shelf entry carries its hash; if the file and the entry ever disagree,
trust neither and say so.

**Site cut.** The served copy condenses the working head comment for public
serving; internal provenance stays with the source. The hash above is of the
served file — the only copy that matters here.

**Status: published** — released through the full-site review and the
Source's lift ruling. Its series post arrives on its own schedule; the shelf
never waited on the feed.

*Revised 2026-08-14: the light-posture comparison toggle removed (a proof-era
affordance, not chrome), and Escape now steps out the way you'd expect —
closes whatever is open, then backs out. The content address above updated
with the revision.*
