Memory Consolidation

Memory consolidation is the process of strengthening important memories and weakening unimportant ones. In Frank, this happens during Dream Daemon phases.

The Process

1. Selection: The Titan Neural Cortex MIS (Memory Importance Scoring) identifies high-importance memories
2. Replay: Recent experiences are replayed and re-encoded with updated emotional tags
3. Strengthening: Important memories get higher confidence scores and stronger graph connections
4. Pruning: Low-importance, low-access memories get their confidence reduced
5. Training: Neural subsystems (Neural Conscience, Neural Reality Gate, Subconscious) train on accumulated data

Why It's Separate from Normal Operation

Training neural networks disrupts inference. If Frank trained while talking to you, responses would become erratic as weights shifted mid-conversation. Consolidation happens only during idle "sleep" — the same strategy biological brains use (Stickgold, 2005).
