YantrikDB: A Cognitive Memory Engine with Forgetting, Consolidation, and Contradiction Detection

Summary

YantrikDB is a cognitive memory engine that functions as a database server with unique memory management capabilities. Unlike traditional vector databases that simply store memories, YantrikDB actively manages them through three key features: forgetting (with temporal decay and configurable half-life), consolidation, and contradiction detection. The system is designed to prevent recall quality degradation that occurs in standard vector databases after accumulating many memories, making it particularly suitable for AI agents that need intelligent memory management. It can be embedded, run as a server, or connected via MCP (Model Context Protocol).
