Advanced
The machinery under the mount — the AIStor Memory Bucket API that a cortex speaks, how aimem's verbs map onto it, and the cortex storage contract. For readers who want the wire-level view; nothing here is required to use aimem.
Everything an agent needs is reached through the mount and the aimem verbs —
you never have to touch the wire API to use aimem. This section is for readers
who want the layer underneath: what a cortex is on the server, the
AIStor Memory API it speaks, and how each aimem command maps onto it.
Architecture
How the memory an agent reads and writes is presented as files — the read and write data path, the local cache, memory warmup, and the agent skill AIStor Memory installs. Your storage, your keys; real files, with no model on the write path and no separate database to run.
Memory Bucket API
The AIStor Memory API a cortex speaks — the /_mem/v1 endpoints, the cortex storage contract (hidden, always compressed, encrypted at rest with a KMS, always stamped), and how each aimem verb maps onto the wire API. A paid-tier AIStor feature.
