Memory + Feeling + Context = MMRY Atomic Unit.
A Memory Atom, abbreviated MEM, is an identifiable MMRY record linked to a SensAffect emotional interpretation and associated context. Its multimetric cloud is a visual representation of that information.
| Component | Meaning | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | What was recorded or recalled | MMRY: content references, identity, time and provenance |
| Feeling | How the experience was felt | SensAffect: primary and supporting emotions, each with VAD coordinates and interpretation provenance |
| Context | The circumstances associated with the memory and feeling | Sourced people, places, times, situations, topics, sentiment and relationships |
Memory and interpretation remain separate. A revised interpretation must not rewrite the recorded memory. A Memory Atom may exist before its feelings or context have been identified. Unknown information must remain unknown.
The standard comprises a shared schema defining the information and shared rules defining composition, interpretation and presentation. “MUST” denotes a requirement of this specification. A proposed method is an implementation candidate, not an established or validated scoring method.
