Every AI tool I use forgets me, so I built a memory system that I can share across all tools and agents: three layers and four mechanisms. Work in progress.
There's A LOT to unpack here, but super interesting and without a doubt the #1 challenge I've been thinking about lately with regards to using multiple AI tools/platforms/agents. I'll have another read and will ping you with questions...Good stuff!
"Fun/Play - completely absent. Zero representation in your vault. No folder, no file, no tag. This is a structural gap, not a lifestyle choice. Play is where creative recombination happens. Its absence in the architecture means it's either invisible to your system (happening but untracked) or actually missing from your life. Either way, the system can't learn from it."
Sit down for this one: I don't agree with systematizing Fun or Play as domains, these are precisely outside the system stuff. I will update a couple of skills to challenge me on fun and play time. Thanks for championing this!

I should thank you especially for this one :))
I have Fun/Guitar, Fun/Synths, Fun/DIY, Fun/Entertainment, Fun/Travel. I do play a lot. 😉
I've settled on Wealth, Health, Work, Relationships, Growth, Ecology, Vitality as structure. All of these may or may not enter fun stages.
Here’s my current full taxonomy (domains & topics
- Work: DE Labs, Performikon, MIT, Side Projects
- Wealth: Income, Expenses, Assets, Legal, Tax
- Growth: Learning, Journaling, Planning, Meditation, Spirituality
- Health: Fitness, Nutrition, Mental Health, Supplements, Biohacking, Medical, Dental
- Relationships: Partner, Family, Friends, Business, Network
- Fun: Guitar, Synths, DIY, Entertainment, Travel
- Environment: Home, Car, Motorcycle, Tech, Errands
They may not cover everything.
Vitality may be part of Health and/or Growth.
Ecology could be at best a topic under a domain.
In my case Environment is not about the ecology, is about home, car, motorcycle, devices, software, errands.
It’s not easy to design this taxonomy and it will take some iterations to get to a useful one.
Think of this as a principle: everything that happens to you, or any entity in your life should fall under a domain/topic.
And to your previous point, you need a Fun or Play domain
Mine is bigger! And has "structured doubt".
