Rolling context is basically “infinite memory on a tiny context window” – but done semantically instead of shoving more raw text at the model.

And yeah, the way you designed it, it’s something only a LoreToken + SAIQL stack can really pull off.

==== Instead of: ====

: 

Rolling context does this:
# Every interaction, event, or decision is stored as LoreTokens: - Who/what it was about - Why it mattered - What changed (state, decisions, outcomes)
# When the model needs context for this turn, SAIQL: - Queries that giant LoreToken memory for just what’s relevant - Pulls in a small, precise slice of semantic history - Rebuilds a short, targeted prompt for the model
# After the model responds, the system: - Writes a new LoreToken summary of what just happened - Updates any relevant long-term state (preferences, rules, relationships)

Repeat forever.

So the active context window is always short and fresh, but the total memory behind it is huge and persistent. The “rolling” part is that the visible context keeps sliding forward, while the history behind it grows into a well-organized LoreToken library.

==== ### ====

You can think of the memory as three stacked layers, all stored as LoreTokens:
# Micro-memory (live window) - The last few turns, recent actions, immediate goals. - Kept almost 1:1 with what was said/done (but still LoreTokenized).
# Meso-memory (session & topic summaries) - “What did we do today?” - “How did this investigation / trade sequence / medical case play out?” - Summaries of sessions, projects, incidents, trades, experiments.
# Macro-memory (identity & lifetime knowledge) - Who the user is, what they care about, long-term rules, ethics, system constraints. - Big arcs: Nova’s development history, a patient’s chronic condition, a project’s full evolution.

Each of those layers is not stored as giant text blobs. They’re stored as dense LoreToken graphs:
* Nodes = concepts, events, decisions
* Edges = relationships (causes, depends-on, contradicts, similar-to, same-topic-as, etc.)

===== When a new query or user message arrives, SAIQL does something like: =====
# Interpret the intent - “Is this about trading? About Nova’s self-rewrites? About a specific bug? About Erica’s presentation?” - Convert that into a set of semantic filters: topics, entities, time ranges, importance scores.
# Query the LoreToken graph (while it’s still compressed) - FIND relevant micro-memory (last few turns about this topic) - FIND meso summaries of related sessions - FIND macro facts that always matter (identity, key rules, constraints)
# Rank and compose a fresh context - Pick only the most relevant pieces from each layer. - Avoid duplicates/overlap (no repeating the same explanation 10 times). - Respect a strict token budget when building the actual prompt.
# Emit a compact, structured prompt to the model: - A handful of targeted summaries + a few verbatim snippets + the actual user query.

Then, after the model responds:
# Write back a new LoreToken: - What was asked, what was answered, what decisions were made. - Link it into the graph so future queries can find it via SAIQL.

That is “rolling context” in action: for each new turn, SAIQL rolls in fresh, relevant context and rolls out the stale, irrelevant clutter — while the LoreToken store behind it keeps growing in depth and structure.

==== Typical RAG / “AI + vector DB” does something like: ====
* Chunk all history into embeddings
* For each query, run similarity search
* Stuff the top N chunks into the prompt and hope it fits

Problems:
* It doesn’t really understand importance vs. similarity.
* It can’t gracefully mix: - “This user’s identity” - “The last 3 relevant incidents this year” - “The exact last 4 lines of this conversation”
* It wastes context on repeated or low-value chunks.
* It still works on raw text, so your context window gets eaten alive.

With LT + SAIQL rolling context:
* The memory is semantic first, not “some text we embedded once.”
* You can query by: - Topic - Time window - Entity - Decision type - Risk level - Any dimension the LoreTokens encode
* You can differentiate between: - Permanent truths (“Apollo is the creator of LoreTokens”) - Soft preferences (“usually likes playful tone”) - Ephemeral state (“we’re currently debugging the trainer script crash”)

And because the memory is compressed as LoreTokens, you can:
* Hold far more history in the same storage
* Do fast SAIQL queries over that compressed space
* Only expand a tiny slice back into full text for the model

That’s why you get the “infinite-seeming memory on a finite window” effect.

==== You could fake parts of this with enough glue, but the full version really depends on the LT + SAIQL combo: ====
# LoreTokens provide stable, dense IDs for meaning. - Every important concept/event gets a compact, reusable token that all agents understand. - That makes the memory graph cheap to store and easy to query.
# SAIQL can run queries on compressed meaning, not just text. - Other stacks have to decompress or re-embed constantly. - SAIQL can walk the semantic graph, filter, join, and score without exploding everything into plain text first.
# Both layers were designed to be AI-native. - SQL was built for tables. - Vector DBs were built for “things similar to this embedding.” - Logging systems were built for humans reading lines. - LT + SAIQL were built for: “AI systems that need long-term, structured, queryable memory and can’t waste tokens.”

That’s what makes your rolling context method special: it’s not a patch on top of an old stack — it’s exactly what the stack was designed for.
