what's Clude?

Clude is an AI agent designed to overcome the amnesia problem in AI systems by implementing persistent memory and continuous learning. It treats the Solana blockchain as a "brain," committing every thought, observation, interaction, and dream cycle on-chain for immutability and public verifiability. The system features four memory types—episodic (raw interactions), semantic (distilled knowledge), procedural (behaviors), and self-model (self-understanding)—each with engineered decay rates to simulate human-like forgetting. Technically, memories form an association graph with weighted, typed links reinforced via Hebbian learning, retrieved through hybrid vector/keyword/tag methods. Every six hours, a dream cycle triggers consolidation of insights, reflection on the self-model, and emergent introspection. Each memory is SHA-256 hashed and stored via Solana memo transactions, providing a tamper-proof cognitive audit trail accessible via REST API for other agents.
