Under the hood, cc-soul stores nothing in a database. Memory lives in chitta-field — a pure Rust substrate compiled directly into the daemon. No external server. No network socket. No NFS file handles.
Each memory is encoded as a sparse code: exactly 64 of 16,384 feature dimensions activate. Recall is driven by overlap between patterns, not keyword matching. Related memories find each other because they share activated neurons — the same way biological associative memory works.
Every write is durable before it applies in memory. A write-ahead log captures every operation. Restart the daemon at any point; the field rebuilds from the log in milliseconds.
