52. Meta-Memory
Mini-Project: Meta-Memory System
A higher-level memory system that monitors and manages other memory modules by tracking access patterns, reliability scores, and staleness to optimize retrieval and prune unreliable memories.
Description
Meta-Memory is memory about memory -- a higher-level system that monitors, manages, and optimizes all other memory systems. It tracks which memories are useful, stale, or unreliable, and adjusts retrieval strategies accordingly. Meta-memory enables self-reflection: "What do I know? What don't I know? Which memories are trustworthy?"
What It Stores
- Memory access patterns and frequency
- Memory reliability scores (correlation with good outcomes)
- Staleness indicators
- Knowledge gaps
How It's Implemented
Uses a metadata layer on top of other memory systems, tracking access counts, success correlation, and freshness.
