User-owned state
Memory is represented as portable records with owner and creator metadata when Arkiv returns it.
Research Notes
ModifierVault treats AI memory as user-owned infrastructure: a semantic graph that can be inspected, exported, queried, and reinterpreted outside one platform's hidden state.
Semantic reuse frames
ModifierStacks interpret a MemoryNode without mutating the underlying memory.
Interpretation artifacts
AgentReflections are generated artifacts with lineage, prompt hash, and output hash.
Disclosure boundaries
Plaintext, metadata-only, and encrypted modes are explicit; encrypted payloads do not hide metadata.
Demo Scenario
Base memory: “I avoid decisions until I can model tradeoffs.”

- MemoryNode write/read returns the same v3 payload and Arkiv key.
- ModifierStack is linked by `memoryKey` and queryable by each modifier attribute.
- AgentReflection is linked by `memoryKey` plus `modifierStackKey`.
- `/memory/[key]` reconstructs the graph from shared keys.
- Export JSON preserves payloads, attributes, owner, creator, and lineage fields.
