Dual-State Memory Consolidation

Abstract

VISTARA implements two distinct physiological synapse states: Hippocampal (plastic, weak, fast-learning) and Neocortical (rigid, permanent). Short-term environmental signals establish transient connections that require validation before long-term storage.

Key Concept & Implementation

Preventing temporary noise from distorting established knowledge bases (catastrophic forgetting). Only reinforced connections survive the consolidation phase to become permanent associative links.

Future Direction

Simulated sleep cycles for offline rebinding of disconnected or contradictory Neocortical facts.
