Archive re-entry
The process by which a render, interpretation, action, or record creates new traces that can shape later renders.
Internal archive
Memory fragments, learned associations, self-story, imagined futures, and other traces available within the person. It is intimate and meaningful but weak at auditing itself alone.
Social archive
Traces held by other people and groups: shared memories, reputations, stories, roles, expectations, and recognition. It can restore missing context or enforce a fixed identity.
Institutional archive
Messages, minutes, policies, diagnoses, contracts, case files, classifications, measurements, and official records. It can preserve accountability and can convert partial judgment into durable consequence.
Digital archive
Searchable data, platform histories, logs, feeds, modeled preferences, automated summaries, and AI-mediated retrieval. It can be dense, persistent, privately governed, corrigible, and forgeable.
