How we differ from
general-purpose memory

Other memory systems accumulate. We steward. Here's what that means in practice.

Philosophy

Why stewarding
beats storing

Memory ≠ Storage

Vector databases store embeddings. Recall Racoon stewards claims through a governed lifecycle. The difference is the difference between a warehouse and a librarian.

Governance at Write Time

Most systems validate at read time (if at all). Recall Racoon validates at ingest—format, citation, semantic coherence, contradiction. Bad memory never enters the Stash.

Deterministic Over Probabilistic

Rumi's probes are deterministic rules, not LLM judgments. Same input = same decision. Auditability is not optional—it's the architecture.

Local-First, Cloud-Optional

Run fully offline with ONNX embeddings and sqlite-vec. Add cloud backends (Qdrant, Postgres) when you need scale, not because you're forced to.
