Identity-based memory vs similarity—clean separation of deterministic truth from probabilistic reasoning.

Strengths
  • Distinguishes symbolic from vector memory with clear architectural role—neither replaces the other, both needed
  • Deterministic resolution guarantees auditability and invariant grounding, addressing real RAG hallucination problems
  • MCP-agnostic pattern, implementable across key-value, relational, graph, or embedded stores
Weaknesses
  • Proof-of-concept stage with minimal implementation—no live demo, benchmarks, or comparison against RAG performance
  • Unclear how symbolic resolution scales beyond toy examples; binding identity lookups to actual LLM context remains unsolved

Post Description

Most AI systems today rely on probabilistic recall: RAG, embeddings, and prompt-based memory.

This makes it hard to enforce invariants, audit facts, or maintain a clear separation between reasoning and ground truth.

I built a minimal proof-of-concept showing a different approach: a deterministic symbolic memory layer accessible via MCP.

Instead of storing “memory inside the model”, knowledge is resolved just-in-time from an explicit symbolic layer.

The goal is not to replace RAG or assistant memory, but to provide a missing infrastructure layer: a controllable knowledge backbone for AI systems.

This repo demonstrates the minimal viable form of that idea.

EasyMemory – 100% local memory layer and MCP for LLMs

Hooks into MCP (Claude Desktop, Ollama, etc.) and keeps everything on disk — auto-saved chats, Slack/Notion imports, and file ingestion make it useful right away for local-agent workflows. The hybrid retrieval combo (graph + vector + keyword) without requiring an external vector DB is an interesting engineering choice, but the space is crowded and I want benchmarks and failure-mode details before recommending it for production.
