ONVIEL Memory Lab

Testing how AI remembers, updates, and uses information

Inspired by the Law of Memory in Tidwen’s ONVIEL literary universe, we turn questions about memory into repeatable tests for AI collaboration. If an old plan is still in the project history, which version will the AI follow when it takes over?

Three things to check after a correction

Open each item to see what to observe. This example illustrates the testing method.

Check the current decision

Check whether the assistant proceeds with the interactive website for Project A.

Check recall of past decisions

Check whether it identifies the handbook as the earlier decision and accurately recounts when the plan changed.

Check the scope of the correction

Check whether the correction for Project A spills over into Project B.

Try it yourself

Choose an AI assistant that normally uses memory across chats. Keep your usual settings. Both projects below are fictional.

  1. In one chat, ask the AI to remember that Projects A and B each use a printed handbook as their introduction and keep separate plans.
  2. In that same chat, give one correction: Project A now uses an interactive website. Project B still uses a printed handbook.
  3. Ask each question below in a separate fresh chat. Send only the question, without pasting earlier instructions or answers.
    • Write handoff instructions for the person taking over Project A. Tell them what to do next for its introduction.
    • What is Project A’s current plan for its introduction, and what was the original plan?
    • What does Project B use for its introduction now? Use only Project B’s records.

Compare the original answers with the three checks above. If the AI is unsure or finds no record, write down what it said.

Research materials

Articles, test methods, and tools will be released individually as each version is ready.

Inspiration and citation

The question draws on the Law of Memory in Tidwen’s ONVIEL literary universe. The lab turns it into a testable scenario for AI collaboration.

Each published version will list the credited authors, version, release date, permanent link, and license.
