Built a 22k-line memory kernel underneath Hermes
I built a massive ~22k line custom memory kernel in Python underneath Hermes instead of just relying on text generation. It acts as a compiler that parses everything into a temporal context graph inside SQLite. It has actual lifecycle management decay, promotion, and supersession. So if my negotiation tactics evolve, the kernel actively demotes the old info instead of just dumping everything into the prompt.
