Architecture Proposal

Three-Layer Architecture
for Anticipatory Competence

A persistent Self-Vector modulates attention, storage, and reflection — not as metadata, but as a causal weighting function.
Relevance — What deserves attention?
Storage — What is retained?
Mutation — How does experience change the self?
