Patternv1PT-002
Thought decay pattern
the predictable degradation curve where novel cognitive signals lose fidelity within seconds to minutes, following Ebbinghaus-like forgetting dynamics that operate faster for unstructured insights than for narratives
Why This Is a Pattern
Exemplifies Open-Loop Cognitive Cost (Zeigarnik) (unresolved items degrade in memory). Recurring structural tendency across all domains where ideas go uncaptured.
