Conduct periodic orphan audits with rapid binary triage—connect, delete, or incubate for 30 days—treating connection speed as a system health metric.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Exponential Information Decay (memory decay is exponential—context decays faster than content), Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (context-dependent retrieval—orphans lose retrieval context), and Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without… (tacit knowledge degrades without detection—unconnected nodes are invisible to future thinking). This prescribes a maintenance practice based on memory architecture constraints.
