Memory Engine: Capture a test-space installation photo, sound artifact, and privacy...

[bseverns]

Why this issue exists

Memory Engine is a local-first room-memory sound installation prototype.

Public-safe boundary

Memory Engine is publicly shareable as a public-safe excerpt: a consent-aware room-memory system that responds to ambient conditions without treating people as datasets. Public material should stay diagrammatic or redacted unless a proof object clearly shows room-state behavior without exposing participants, identifiable memories, or retention logic that exceeds the actual evidence.

Next action

Capture a test-space installation photo, sound artifact, and privacy boundary note before using stronger "room memory" language.

Action context

• Effort: unspecified
• Stack: camera, obsidian, hardware
• Domain: Installation, Local-First, Sound
• Status: active
• Maturity: alpha

Missing evidence

• Installation photo
• sound capture
• privacy boundary note

Allowed outputs

• evidence capture checklist
• repo issue
• public-safe portfolio draft
• small experiment plan
• public-safe diagram draft

Do not produce

• Participant imagery, identifiable room recordings, individualized memory traces, raw retention examples, precise room context, and any capture that could turn ambient sensing into personal surveillance should remain private.
• Avoid "learns the room" language unless the sensing model and non-surveillance limits are explicit.
• Use "local-first sound installation prototype" and lead with the privacy boundary.

Acceptance criteria

• Capture a test-space installation photo, sound artifact, and privacy boundary note before using stronger "room memory" language.
• Use the fastest capture path if it still fits: Photograph a test installation and document what is sensed, what is not captured, and where data stays
• Attach or link proof in Memory Engine - installation and privacy boundary
• Keep public wording inside this rule: Use "local-first sound installation prototype" and lead with the privacy boundary.
• Redact or exclude restricted material before saving or sharing output

Notes

• Portfolio blocker: True
• Evidence blocker: True
• Public claim: Local-first room-memory sound installation prototype
• Private caveat: Avoid "learns the room" language unless the sensing model and non-surveillance limits are explicit.
• Evidence note: Memory Engine - installation and privacy boundary
