KCAE.MEMORY:4.3 - Let new material find relevant old questions

Maintain a bounded collection of authorized open questions and conditional uses. When a source changes or a newly inspected method supplies a different contribution, query that collection by its possible receiving results and conditions. Reassess candidate episodes against their original cues; do not simply append the new method to every similarly tagged case.

This reverse lookup can be indexed lexically and semantically, with the same source-return and blind-spot limits as forward retrieval. Preserve a route to open episodes outside the existing category. A periodic sample or targeted direct inspection can reveal cases the category map hides. Selection for such inspection must have a declared scope and cost; it is not proof that every past episode has been reconsidered.

Publish a changed connection only after the relevant source and current case basis are inspected. The old configuration may no longer be observable, or the user’s need may have ended. Return “potentially relevant, present situation unknown” rather than an unsolicited action based on an old conversation. Permission to remember is not automatically permission to interrupt; KCAE.ENCOUNTER governs the latter.
