Source Trust: Not Every Memory Deserves Equal Weight
A memory that believes every source equally can be quietly poisoned by its least trustworthy one. Corsoul lets you decide who is worth believing.
The longer an agent runs, the more places its memories come from. Some come straight from you. Some come from another agent it works with. Some are scraped from the web, imported from an old system, or relayed second-hand through a tool. Treat all of them as equally true and you've built a memory that any one careless source — or one bad actor — can corrupt from the inside.
Corsoul takes a different stance: not every source has earned the same trust, so not every memory should carry the same weight.
Every memory knows where it came from
When something enters Corsoul, it remembers not just what was said, but who said it. Every memory is tied to its source, and that origin travels with it. Nothing is anonymous by default, and nothing quietly loses track of where it came from.
That's the foundation for everything else — because a memory that knows its origin is a memory you can judge.
You decide who's worth believing
You give each source a level of trust. Your own direct input can be trusted completely; a freshly connected agent starts somewhere sensible; a bulk import or a second-hand feed starts lower. For sources you vouch for, that trust stays exactly where you set it. For the rest, it keeps pace with how the source actually holds up over time — so one that proves reliable is believed more, and one that keeps getting things wrong is believed less.
That trust isn't a note in a report. It changes how memory behaves: a fact from a trusted source lands with real weight, while a fact from a doubtful one is held at arm's length — kept, but treated as something to corroborate before you lean on it, and given less say in what surfaces when your agent recalls.
No one can fake their way in
A trust system is only as good as its weakest claim of identity. Corsoul closes that door: a source can never pass itself off as one you trust more than it is. Who a memory came from is something Corsoul assigns — never something the memory gets to assert about itself.
And credibility can't be bought with noise. No amount of agreeable-sounding activity will lift a random source to the standing of the ones you personally trust. High trust is something you grant, deliberately — never something a source can quietly accumulate its way into before it strikes.
You stay in control
Corsoul handles the tireless part on its own — keeping watch over how every source is holding up. But the decisions stay yours: raising or lowering a source, vouching for your own, retiring a channel that keeps failing. It hands you a clear read on how each source is doing and flags where something looks off; it never promotes a source behind your back. The watchful part runs itself. The judgment stays with you.
Memory you can actually build on
A memory that believes everything equally is easy to fool and hard to trust. One that remembers where every piece came from, weighs each source by a trust you control, and refuses to let anyone forge or buy their way to credibility is a memory you can actually build on.
