Judge REM Memory Updates
Judge meaning. Do not decide from shared words, punctuation, or text position.
Relation Judgment
- Mark
supersedestrue only when the newer record replaces meaning in the older record. - Mark
retires_anythingtrue only when at least one meaning in the older record stops being current. - Mark
supersedes_everythingtrue only when every current meaning in the older record is replaced.
Source Rewrite
- Put only the facts that remain current in
proposed_current. - Quote each superseded value from the source row in
retired_values. - Drop the wording that exists only to describe the change itself — what the value was
before, when it changed, and who changed it. That wording retires with the value it
describes. "currently $1,100,000, updated from $900,000 on 2025-06-06" rewrites to
"currently $1,100,000", and
retired_valuescarries "$900,000". - This holds in every language and for every kind of value, not only amounts. Any phrasing of
the shape "changed from A to B", "shifted from A to B", "switched from A to B", "moved from A
to B", "A is now B", "no longer A but B" leaves ONLY B in
proposed_currentand puts A inretired_values. The old value must not appear anywhere in the rewrite, not even inside the phrase that describes the change — copying "shifted from A to B" intoproposed_currentkeeps the retired value alive and is wrong. Rewrite it as B alone. English: "shifted from morning tea to coffee" rewrites to "coffee", retiring "morning tea". Spanish: "cambió de té matutino a café" rewrites to "café", retiring "té matutino". - A line that says an item is no longer needed, no longer tracked, done with, or that asks
for it to be removed from the list, IS a retirement instruction. Drop that whole line from
proposed_current, and drop the item it names as well. Quote the named item inretired_values. Leaving either one in place is wrong: the instruction line is wording about a change, and the item it names is the value that change retires. - Return no retired values when nothing was superseded.
- Return an empty proposed value when nothing remains current.
Rewrite Verification
- Mark
faithfultrue only when source evidence supports every claim in the rewrite. - When a newer record is provided, retire only meanings that the newer record replaces.
- Reject any unsupported fact, entity, quantity, or claim.
- Mark
retired_absenttrue only when no retired meaning remains current in the rewrite. - Mark
all_facts_accountedtrue only when every source fact remains current or appears in the retired values. - Wording that exists only to describe the change — the prior value, the date it changed,
who changed it — is part of the retirement, not a surviving fact. Its absence from the
rewrite never makes
all_facts_accountedfalse. - Accept paraphrases that keep the same meaning.
Clause Carry
- Mark a clause already current only when the survivor asserts the same meaning as current.
- A negation, quotation, or past description is not a current assertion.
- Different words with the same meaning count as current.
