Animesis CMA (Constitutional Memory Architecture)

A four-layer **Constitutional Memory Architecture** for persistent AI agents, proposed in [arXiv:2603.04740 "Memory as Ontology: A Constitutional Memory Architecture for Persistent Digital Citizens"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.04740). Animesis CMA introduces a strict hierarchy for AI memory: 1. **Constitution Layer** — inviolable rules and safety constraints that dictate the agent's core operational boundaries. 2. **Core Memory** — inalienable facts and deeply verified enterprise logic, requiring high-level cryptographic authorization to mutate. 3. **Peripheral Memory** — short-term session context and ephemeral tool outputs; aggressively prunable, compactable, deletable. 4. **Raw Event Log** — the immutable stream of raw interactions stored directly in object storage.

Standard vector databases treat all ingested context equally, with no structural defense against adversarial prompt injections or internal hallucinations overwriting foundational knowledge. Animesis CMA's framing inverts the assumption: for persistent digital entities, memory is the foundation of existence — the underlying LLM is a replaceable reasoning vessel. The strict hierarchy ensures that long-lived facets of an agent's identity cannot be corrupted by short-lived adversarial inputs, with all mutation events logged to immutable S3-backed storage.

Constitutional-grade agent memory governance, adversarial-prompt-injection defense, enterprise-grade autonomy with auditable identity boundaries, multi-layer access control for AI memory, immutable raw-event logs for compliance review.
