Published January 15, 2025•FocusOS Program

Dataset

FocusOS workspace traces covering 150 tasks plus emotional memory validation across 120 annotated interactions.

Methodology

Combines telemetry from workspace transitions with human-rated recall studies. Measures continuity debt, recovery time, and emotional correctness after context switches.

Abstract

Institutional cognitive systems must remember what matters without leaking sensitive state. This framework report documents how FocusOS maintains continuity across conversations, encodes emotional state, and prevents drift under regulated workloads.

Continuity Signals

Describes the triad of signals FocusOS tracks: workspace structure, emotional salience, and task pressure. These signals drive which memories get persisted and surfaced.

Operational Controls

Provides runbooks for clearing stale context safely, rehydrating sessions under audit, and documenting continuity incidents.
