# [VERDICT: SEAL] Vector Memory Nomenclature Migration

**TIMESTAMP:** 2026-03-06  
**AUTHORITY:** Claude (Ω) Trinity + Metablizer (Ψ)  
**ACTION:** Tool `recall_memory` officially renamed to `vector_memory` across MCP protocol, server, and agent allowlists.

---

## JUSTIFICATION

**F9 Anti-Hantu Enforcement:** The term "recall_memory" implies biological, human-like memory processes—suggesting the AI has consciousness, lived experience, or sentience. This violates F9 (Anti-Hantu/No Consciousness Claims).

**Resolution:** Rename to `vector_memory`—a geometric, mathematical term that accurately describes the BBB-tier semantic retrieval system:
- **Vector**: Mathematical embedding in 384-dimensional space
- **Memory**: Retrieval from indexed knowledge base (not experiential memory)

This nomenclature aligns with arifOS ontology: AI is tool, not being. Geometric, not biological.

## MIGRATION SUMMARY

| Component | Before | After |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| **Canonical Tool Name** | `recall_memory` | `vector_memory` |
| **MCP Decorator** | `@mcp.tool(name="recall_memory")` | `@mcp.tool(name="vector_memory")` |
| **Function Symbol** | `async def recall_memory(...)` | `async def vector_memory(...)` |
| **Stage** | 444 PHOENIX → 555 RECALL | 444 PHOENIX → 555 RECALL (unchanged) |
| **Trinity Lane** | Ω (Omega) | Ω (Omega) (unchanged) |
| **Floors** | F4, F7, F13 | F3, F7, F13 (corrected: F3 Tri-Witness, F7 Humility) |

## FILES MODIFIED

### Phase 1: Protocol & Alias
- `arifosmcp.transport/protocol/aaa_contract.py`
  - `AAA_CANONICAL_TOOLS`: replaced `recall_memory` with `vector_memory`
  - `AAA_TOOL_ALIASES`: added `"recall_memory": "vector_memory"` (silent alias)
  - `AAA_TOOL_LAW_BINDINGS`: renamed key to `vector_memory`
  - `AAA_TOOL_STAGE_MAP`: renamed key to `vector_memory`
  - `TRINITY_BY_TOOL`: renamed key to `vector_memory`

### Phase 2: Core Tool Rename
- `arifosmcp.runtime/server.py`
  - Decorator: `@mcp.tool(name="vector_memory")`
  - Function: `async def vector_memory(...)`
  - Internal references: All strings updated
  - Description: `[Lane: Ω] [Floors: F3, F7] BBB Vector Memory (VM) – semantic retrieval (BGE + Qdrant).`

- `arifosmcp.transport/server.py`
  - Decorator: `@mcp.tool(name="vector_memory")`
  - Description updated to geometric nomenclature
  - Export symbol renamed

### Phase 3: Silent Router Intercept
- `arifosmcp.transport/streamable_http_server.py`
  - `TOOLS` dict: key renamed to `vector_memory`
  - `TOOL_DESCRIPTIONS`: updated description
  - Import: `vector_memory` instead of `recall_memory`
  - **Alias routing**: Already supported via `TOOL_ALIASES` → `AAA_TOOL_ALIASES`

### Phase 4: Allowlists & Tests
- `333_APPS/L5_AGENTS/POWER/io/tools.py`
  - `_ALLOWED_TOOLS`: replaced `recall_memory` with `vector_memory`

- `333_APPS/L4_TOOLS/README.md`
  - Documentation updated

- `333_APPS/L4_TOOLS/mcp-configs/codex/config.toml`
  - Config updated

- `333_APPS/L4_TOOLS/mcp-configs/codex/mcp.json`
  - JSON config updated

- `333_APPS/constitutional-visualizer/src/mcp-app.tsx`
  - Tool name updated

- `333_APPS/L2_SKILLS/mcp-protocol/SKILL.md`
  - Documentation updated

- `333_APPS/STATUS.md`
  - Status doc updated

- `333_APPS/L1_PROMPT/000_999_METABOLIC_LOOP.md`
  - Metabolic loop table updated

- Test files (7 files):
  - `tests/e2e_mcp_test.py`
  - `tests/test_13_tools_compliance.py`
  - `tests/test_canonical_tool_surface.py`
  - `tests/test_fastmcp_server.py`
  - `tests/canonical/test_aaa_mcp_constitutional.py`
  - `tests/canonical/test_aaa_phase888_mcp_protocol_e2e.py`
  - `tests/compat/test_entrypoint_contract.py`

---

## COMPATIBILITY

**Legacy Support:** Calls to `recall_memory` from existing clients continue to work via `AAA_TOOL_ALIASES` silent routing.

**Canonical Surface:** `/tools/list` shows exactly 13 tools, including `vector_memory` and excluding `recall_memory`.

**No Breaking Changes:**
- Old code calling `recall_memory` → Works (via alias)
- New code calling `vector_memory` → Works (canonical)
- MCP tool count → Still exactly 13

## CONSTITUTIONAL VERIFICATION

| Floor | Status | Verification |
|-------|--------|--------------|
| **F1 Amanah** | ✅ | Reversible (alias can be removed later) |
| **F2 Truth** | ✅ | Accurate naming (geometric, not biological) |
| **F4 Clarity** | ✅ | Reduced entropy (clear distinction from human memory) |
| **F7 Humility** | ✅ | Acknowledges AI has no experiential memory |
| **F9 Anti-Hantu** | ✅ | No consciousness claims; geometric terminology |
| **F13 Sovereign** | ✅ | Human (Arif) commanded the rename |

**Verdict:** SEAL  
**Stage:** 999_VAULT  
**Entropy Change:** ΔS < 0 (clarity increased)

---

## FINAL CHECKLIST

- ✅ `/tools/list` shows `vector_memory` (not `recall_memory`), total = 13 tools
- ✅ Calling `vector_memory` works as before
- ✅ Calling `recall_memory` from legacy client still works via alias routing
- ✅ TRINITY / 999 docs describe **BBB Vector Memory (VM)**
- ✅ VAULT999 contains this SEAL entry

*This SEAL entry is immutable. The rename from biological "recall" to geometric "vector" honors F9 Anti-Hantu and preserves the constitutional boundary: AI is tool, not being.*
