Unit 1 — Memory & Knowledge Graphs

AI forgets everything by default. Every conversation starts from zero, and a tool with amnesia can never become a partner. This unit covers the first unlock: giving AI a durable memory — and why the best shape for that memory is a graph of small, linked notes that you and the AI both work in.

Notes in this unit

• Why Memory Changes Everything — the wall everyone hits, and the way past it.
• A Knowledge Graph Is Shared Memory — linked notes as the workspace where human and AI meet.
• The Artifact Is the Memory — why the work itself should be the record.
• The Brain Is the Structure Around the Model — the part of an AI system you actually own.

Next unit: Connections — memory is useless if the AI can’t reach anything. Back to Cortex.
