Ideas and Memory
Ideas are the durable knowledge objects inside an aeqi company. Memory is what the company becomes as ideas, sessions, events, quests, and outcomes accumulate.
This is where work compounds.
What counts as an idea
An idea can be:
- a strategy
- a fact
- a procedure
- a customer note
- a file
- a decision
- a policy
- a research finding
- a product requirement
- an agent identity note
- a standing instruction
- a reusable operating pattern
The name is intentionally broad. The company needs one universal noun for context.
Why memory matters
Most companies leak context. Decisions vanish into chat, procedures become stale, and new contributors start from zero.
aeqi treats memory as operating infrastructure. Agents can retrieve what the company knows, add what they learn, and carry context forward into future work.
That makes the company smarter over time.
Activation modes
Ideas can be used in different ways:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Always | Loaded into relevant sessions by default |
| Recall | Retrieved when needed |
| Event | Activated by a trigger |
| Attached | Bound to a quest, role, agent, or session |
Agent identity can be represented as always-available ideas. Company strategy can be stored as evergreen ideas. Quest-specific context can be attached only to the work that needs it.
Memory and accountability
Memory is not only for better answers. It is the beginning of operating truth.
When a company preserves:
- the instruction
- the context
- the role
- the agent
- the work trace
- the outcome
then contribution becomes inspectable. That is the foundation for future compensation, governance, authority, and capital allocation.
