# RAM / Resonant Access Memory — v1 Activation Boundary

## Core Principle

**Retrieval ≠ Validation**

RAM indexes source-return traces. It does not prove claims.

## Canonical Rules

- **Storage ≠ Truth** — RAM stores indexed review artifacts, not empirical facts.
- **Recall Scoring ≠ Evidence Quality** — provenance scores measure index integrity, not claim truth.
- **Memory Persistence ≠ Personhood** — memory architecture does not imply consciousness, agency, or personhood.

## Required Output Boundary

```json
{
  "recall_boundary": "Retrieval ≠ validation. Storage ≠ truth. Recall scoring ≠ evidence quality.",
  "provenance_note": "Score measures index integrity, not claim truth."
}
```

## Blocked Behaviors

RAM must not use: validates, proves, certifies, confirms reality. RAM cannot auto-promote recalled content to a higher claim ladder status.
