From recurrence to coherent identity.
Cycle, recurrence, ascent
The five-layer memory tower
Every AC pass deposits a signed imbalance. High disorder prunes the oldest layers, retaining the newest two.
Three simultaneous streams
Closure near Unity, Spectra under Active excess, Remainder under Connective excess.
Memory on versus memory off
Same external forcing and initial ratio. Only the memory feedback term differs. This comparison tests this prototype’s specified rule.

Composition & feedback
ℓ = ln(A/C), M = A+C = 1.5
dℓ/dt = bias + 0.37sin(1.2t+0.35) + 0.16sin(0.48t+1.4) − 0.58ℓ − gain × m̄
m̄ = Σ 0.75^age × ℓ(AC) / Σ 0.75^age
Five most recent AC observations contribute. At high disorder (≥ 0.58), keep the newest two. The orange counterfactual uses the same forcing with the memory term set to zero.
Stream router & identity
K = exp(−(|ℓ|/0.36)²)
S = (1−K) × sigmoid(ℓ/0.16)
R = (1−K) × [1−sigmoid(ℓ/0.16)]
Δh = 1 if K(AC) ≥ 0.59; else 0
T(i) = [i × f_eff] mod 200
These functions and thresholds are prototype choices, not equations extracted from the paper. Stream bars show the last AC pass, while the ratio card shows the current state.
