Always Memory

The Foundational Pillar of Ternary Moral Logic

Ternary Moral Logic (TML) is a universal accountability framework for AI. At its core lies Always Memory: an unbreakable mandate that every AI action must create an immutable, cryptographically sealed memory before execution.

The Absolute Mandate

100%

No Memory = No Action.

This principle is the master switch for AI accountability. It ensures that every operation, no matter how small, is preceded by the creation of a permanent, unalterable record. There are no exceptions.

The Shift: From Explanation to Evidence

Previous attempts at AI safety, known as Explainable AI (XAI), failed because they produced subjective narratives, not evidence. TML enables Auditable AI (AAI), creating court-admissible records that transform accountability from a theoretical goal into a practical reality.

✗Explainable AI (XAI)

  • Subjective narratives
  • No legal standing in court
  • Can be manipulated or biased
  • Focuses on "storytelling"

✓Auditable AI (AAI)

  • Immutable, factual evidence
  • Court-admissible records
  • Cryptographically secure
  • Focuses on "evidence"

How Always Memory Secures AI Actions

Always Memory isn't just a log file; it's a multi-layered security architecture designed for integrity and resilience. Before any AI action is executed, it passes through this rigorous process, ensuring every step is recorded and protected against tampering.

1. AI Intent

An action is proposed.

→

2. Pre-Execution Logging & Safeguards

Immutable Logs: Cryptographically sealed.

Chain of Custody: Securely linked data.

Redundant Storage: Geographically distributed.

Crypto-shredding: Protects user rights.

→

3. TML Action

Action is executed.

The TML Decision Framework

Based on the evidence provided by Always Memory, the TML gate triages every action into one of three states. This ensures that routine tasks proceed efficiently while ethically complex decisions trigger a mandatory pause for review.

The Eight Pillars of TML

Always Memory is one of eight interconnected pillars that form the complete TML framework. Each pillar is essential, creating a comprehensive architecture for AI safety, human rights, and planetary protection.

Always Memory carved each hesitation into stone—microsecond, hash, signature—so no shrug of doubt could ever be blamed on foggy recollection.
