Part 4 of the Building the AI Memory Stack series

After finishing the previous article, I looked at the repository a little differently. The specifications were still there. The Architecture Decision Records were still there. The glossary entries were still there. The project's durable memory had done exactly what it was supposed to do: preserve the knowledge that deserved to survive.

But something was missing. I could see what existed, but I couldn't always see why it existed.

Memory tells you what. Reasoning tells you why.

That distinction turns out to matter.
