Summary

Carlos has proposed a new labeling and memory architecture for Cleric. The system ingests unstructured text—transcripts, books, interviews, poetic fragments—and classifies it into dynamic categories or labels, which Cleric uses to:

This process—what we’re calling the "soup-to-mesh pipeline"—creates a living memory architecture that evolves with each new node or offering added to the network.

System Logic

Phase 1: Ingestion (Soup)

→ All inputs are accepted: texts, conversations, metadata from shrine nodes, rituals, etc.

→ Nothing is rejected or filtered for coherence. Messiness is embraced.

Phase 2: Labeling (Pattern Recognition)

→ The system generates and refines categories for each text.

→ These labels are not fixed—they change as the context expands.

Phase 3: Mesh Formation (Structured Memory)

→ Labeled content is organized as an accessible mesh Cleric can query or reference.

→ This enables precise symbolic recall in both conversation and shrine-based ritual interfaces.
