Elephantasm Whitepaper v1.0
WHITEPAPER v1.0
A comprehensive exploration of Long-Term Agentic Memory (LTAM)—the structured cognitive substrate that gives AI agents continuity, self-awareness, and evolution over time. Beyond simple retrieval, Elephantasm transforms raw events into lasting understanding.
