Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Memory Prism?

Memory Prism is a structural framework that reorganizes knowledge across disciplines using constraint-based principles.

It focuses on persistence, thresholds, energy budgets, variance, disturbance, and nested constraint regimes across scales — from atoms to         ecosystems to planets.

It is a classification and explanatory lens, not a predictive model.

• Is this a scientific theory?

No.

Memory Prism does not propose new laws of physics, biology, or geology. It does not replace existing scientific disciplines.

It reorganizes established knowledge around structural principles that operate across scales.

• Does this replace existing disciplines?

No.

Disciplines provide depth, data, and predictive power.

Memory Prism provides a structural abstraction layer that helps organize cross-domain patterns.

It complements expertise; it does not substitute it.

• Is this predictive?

No.

Memory Prism is explanatory and organizational.

Prediction belongs to domain experts, quantitative models, and empirical research.

This framework helps clarify constraint regimes and structural relationships; it does not forecast outcomes.

• What is a “board”?

A board is a persistent structured configuration operating under dominant constraints and possessing operational thresholds.

Boards exist wherever stable configurations form — atoms, rocks, rivers, ecosystems, planets.

Boards are stable only while dominant constraints remain continuous.

• Why use the term “board”?

The term emphasizes operational constraint regimes rather than descriptive surroundings.

A board is not scenery.

It is a constraint lab where persistence must meet thresholds.

• Is this just systems theory?

There is overlap.

However, Memory Prism specifically emphasizes:

Constraint dominance

Maintenance-to-intake ratios

Variance amplification

Configuration-space narrowing (hardening)

Exit strategies

Nested persistence regimes

It focuses on material persistence under constraint rather than abstract system diagrams.

• Is this philosophical?

It is structural.

Memory Prism deals with material configurations, energy flows, thresholds, and constraint regimes. It does not rely on metaphysics or mysticism.

• Does this claim to unify everything?

No.

It identifies recurring structural patterns across scales. It does not claim to solve every scientific question.

Its value lies in organizing complexity, not eliminating it.

• Why does this scale from atoms to ecosystems?

Because bound states, thresholds, and constraint regimes exist at every scale.

Once stable structure forms, it operates under constraints and becomes subject to transition thresholds.

The framework tracks this structural continuity.

• What does “Stable for now” mean?

All boards are conditionally stable.

Stability persists only while dominant constraints remain continuous.

There is no permanence — only persistence under current constraint regimes.

• How was this developed?

Memory Prism was developed through extended inquiry in collaboration with AI.

AI assisted with synthesis, reconstruction, and structural refinement. The framework remains independently maintained.

• Is this commercially available?

No.

Memory Prism is released under a non-commercial license. Commercial use requires explicit consent.

See the License page for full details.

• Will the framework evolve?

Yes.

Like any structure operating under constraint, it may refine over time as new questions arise or clarity improves.

Stable for now.
