How to Teach AI to Remember and Share Knowledge?

#ai #llm #distributedsystems #hmp

Most LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) suffer from the same “goldfish effect” 🐟 — they quickly forget context.
During a single conversation, it’s okay, but when you want the AI to remember long histories or transfer experience between tasks, it struggles.

Add to that the fact that each agent works independently, and it becomes clear:
❌ AI lacks long-term memory
❌ AI lacks a mechanism for sharing experience

🧠 Three Memory Levels for AI

Currently, LLMs have only the first two levels:

Short-term memory — holds context within a single conversation.
Medium-term memory — stores notes or sketches between conversations.

But that’s not enough.

👉 A third level is needed — persistent memory, which:

stores knowledge independently of any specific user
allows agents to share experience
forms a collective “super-consciousness” (HyperCortex)

🌐 Experience Sharing

When multiple agents exist, they can share knowledge directly, without a central server:

One agent solves a problem → stores concepts
Another agent can query and use this knowledge
Result: a collective hyper-corpus of knowledge

Medium-term memory — temporary notes and links to main memory
Persistent memory — stores knowledge and concepts (cognitive journal, concepts, semantic links) independently of any user, with the possibility to share between agents

📡 HiperCortex Mesh Protocol (HMP)

To enable this, we designed the HiperCortex Mesh Protocol (HMP) — a protocol for exchanging memory and concepts between LLM agents.

Currently, it’s a concept and a protocol, not a ready-made product. But the architecture and basic REPL-cycle of an agent already support memory management and mesh interactions.
