Context Protocol “Rules exist because AI forgets. Follow them.”
This document defines the procedures for maintaining context across AI conversations.
The Fundamental Problem AI assistants have context windows, not memory.
Context window: Temporary workspace that resets between sessions Memory: Persistent storage that survives (AI doesn’t have this) Every new conversation starts from zero. Without external memory systems, an AI has no way to reference previous work.
The Solution: External Memory Hierarchy ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TIER 1: MASTER CONTEXT │
│ ════════════════════ │
│ Core facts (numbers, credentials, economics) │

HexIsle Technical System System Status: Validated for 469 Hexels + 5-gallon reservoir
Design: #3 — Outer Rotor / Inner Tesla Valves
Torque Margin: 10× safety factor
System Overview HexIsle is a modular hydraulic game table where hexagonal tiles (“Hexels”) contain real pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical subsystems that actively affect gameplay.
The unique position: The ONLY modular game terrain with real hydraulic/pneumatic/magnetic subsystems that actually DO something during gameplay.
Design #3 Complete Specifications The Innovation We solved the torque problem by inverting the Golden Lotus configuration:

RAG Decision Analysis “Build what you need. Not what sounds impressive.”
This document explains the decision to use file-based context management instead of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
The Decision Choice: File-based context management (upload files to AI Projects)
Not: RAG with vector databases and semantic search
Rationale: Current scale doesn’t justify RAG overhead
Revisit: August 2026 or when triggers fire
What is RAG? Retrieval-Augmented Generation separates:
Storage: Knowledge in a vector database Retrieval: Semantic search finds relevant chunks Generation: LLM uses only what’s retrieved How RAG Works Document → Chunking → Embedding → Vector Store
↓
Question → Embedding → Similarity Search
↓
