Dossier: Clever Memory Loses

The complete recognition package for the paper "Clever Memory Loses: A Single Simple Substrate Is State of the Art on LoCoMo, LongMemEval, and BEAM" (Marko Marković, KORRO / hive-mind). This is the arsenal you deploy when someone says "tell me more about what you do": paper, blog, deck, posts, and press kit, ready to send in under five minutes.

The one insight, repackaged for every format: keep the memory store dumb and spend your cleverness on reads.

The three numbers

Benchmark	Best published incumbent	This work
LoCoMo (1,540 Q)	Memori 81.95%	86.49%
LongMemEval-S (500 Q)	Mastra 94.87 macro	95.01 macro / 93.60 micro
BEAM 1M (700 Q)	mem0 0.6409 avg / 70.1% pass	0.6482 avg / 74.0% pass

Single differentiator: conflict-awareness, worth 23 points on BEAM's contradiction ability. Falsification ledger: 37 interventions measured, 33 lost.

The 5-minute send checklist

Before you send any subset of this dossier, confirm:

• Pick the target. Use the table above to select the minimum set of files for the situation; do not send everything by default.
• Fill the placeholders. Replace every [LINK] in announcement-posts.md with the live arXiv or blog URL, and the [contact placeholder] in press-kit.md with a real email.
• Confirm the artifacts are live. The repository at github.com/marolinik/waggle-os is public and contains the harness, per-question results, negative-results tables, and the pre-heal snapshot.
• Attach the figures if the recipient is press. fig1-substrate.png and fig2-falsification.png are legible at 100 percent and in grayscale.
• Verify the numbers match the paper. LoCoMo 86.49 vs 81.95; LongMemEval 95.01 macro vs 94.87; BEAM 74.0% pass vs 70.1%; contradiction +23. Nothing rounded differently across files.
• Lead with the one-pager. The press kit is read in 60 seconds and must stand alone; everything else is depth behind it.
• Zip and send. The dossier folder plus the two companion figures should be one archive, ready to attach in under five minutes.
