| 3261 | (bullet points, |

| 3263 | its the obvious way to do it. |
| 3264 | The plan file is effectively a prompt (or a diary entry?): |
| 3265 | want to know where things are at? |
| 3266 | Read this text, |
| 3267 | and you will know. |
| 3268 | And its fine, |
| 3269 | excellent, |
| 3270 | even, |
| 3271 | as this is exactly how humans communicate with each other: |
| 3272 | they send text around. |
| 3273 | (well, |
| 3274 | of course there's more: |
| 3275 | speech, |
| 3276 | song, |
| 3277 | music, |

| 3297 | There's base working knowledge that is not encoded in the current weight–matrix that Claude is working off of; |
| 3298 | it's knowledge is its working set, |
| 3299 | or it's context window. |
| 3300 | Humans have a dynamic update/interplay between long term memory (the weight matrix) and short–term memory (the context), |
| 3301 | and the thing that gives us identity is the path we've taken in life in updating our weight matrix. |
| 3302 | We may all start as blank slates at birth; |
| 3303 | we become individuals through life experiences. |
| 3304 | Claude is not an individual in this sense: |
| 3305 | it has no memory of experiences of how it got to where it is. |
| 3306 | It's weight matrix encodes zillions of childhood experiences written down by humans, |
| 3307 | but none are uniquely Claude's. |
| 3308 | But I digress. |

| 3313 | I was interrupted, |
| 3314 | and again, |
| 3315 | I don't feel like pursuing the above chain of thoughts. |
| 3316 | It's a fucking chore. |
| 3317 | But I must, |
| 3318 | it's the right thing to do. |
| 3319 | Half my mind is saying that the rest of this story is trite and shallow. |
| 3320 | The other half is saying that I will stay restless about this until I put it to bed. |
| 3321 | The third half is saying that maybe there is something deep and important in this narrative, |
| 3322 | and if I don't grasp it now, |
| 3323 | it will slip away. |
| 3324 | Opportunity knocks, |
| 3325 | best if I answer the door. |

| 3329 | Anyway, |
| 3330 | the glimmer is this. |
| 3331 | First, |
| 3332 | I want to store tasks, |
| 3333 | priorities and relationships in a relational manner, |
| 3334 | i.e. |
| 3335 | symbolically, |
| 3336 | in the AtomSpace, |
| 3337 | locally, |
| 3338 | on my computer, |
| 3339 | and not represented as a context–window–sized vector stored on Anthropic's cloud server, |
| 3340 | a context window that is trimmed down at arbitrary times, |
| 3341 | and discarded when the session ends. |
