Agent memory needs three clocks: tri-temporal belief history in Spectron

Spectron Engineering proposes a tri-temporal model for AI memory systems, distinguishing between valid time, system time, and known time to more accurately emulate human memory. This approach allows AI agents to handle temporal data without overwriting or mashing information, addressing the inadequacy of systems that rely on a single "now" clock. Valid time refers to when something was true in the world, system time is when data is recorded, and known time is when a belief is first held by a mind, allowing for the correction of misconceptions. This model helps in managing spoilers and narratives, such as the viewing order of Star Wars films, by using the concept of "asOf" to control what information should be accessible at certain points in time. The application of this model is further explored with real-world examples, such as Aeon's Surreal Renaissance, demonstrating its utility in various contexts, including compliance audits and narratives, ensuring that information is revealed appropriately based on the user's learning timeline.
