Claude Memory System Overview

Claude Memory System - Internal Documentation

This is the internal technical documentation for the Claude Memory system - a comprehensive AI memory management platform with revolutionary spatial storage capabilities.

System Architecture

The Claude Memory system consists of several interconnected components:

Core Components

1. MagickCache - High-performance spatial storage with O(r³) complexity
2. Memory API - RESTful endpoints for memory management
3. Knowledge Graph - Semantic relationship storage
4. Vector Space Engine - Embedding and similarity calculations
5. Browser Extension - Seamless memory capture
6. Web Dashboard - Management interface

Mathematical Foundations

Our system is built on rigorous mathematical principles:

• Bounded Attention with Localized Lookup Spheres (BALLS) theory
• Riemann manifold geometry for spatial storage organization
• Computational topology for relationship mapping
• Vector space operations for semantic similarity

Revolutionary Performance

Traditional Approach:

• Linear search: O(n) complexity
• Memory usage: O(n²) for spatial operations
• Redis-style key-value: No spatial awareness

BALLS Storage Approach:

• Bounded search: O(∫₀ʳ ∫₀²π ∫₀π ρ² sin(θ) dφ dθ dρ × A)
• Spatial complexity: O(r³) where r is search radius
• 233x performance improvement over traditional methods

Key Innovations

Spatial Complexity Reduction

Instead of searching all n elements, we only search elements within a bounded sphere of radius r. This transforms:

• From: O(n) linear search across all data
• To: O(r³) bounded search within spatial locality

Mathematical Elegance

The triple integral O(∫₀ʳ ∫₀²π ∫₀π ρ² sin(θ) dφ dθ dρ × A) represents:

• ρ: radial distance (0 to r)
• θ: polar angle (0 to π)
• φ: azimuthal angle (0 to 2π)
• A: attention decay function

This creates bounded attention - we only pay computational cost for spatially relevant data in storage.
