Memory Map

The Memory Map draws your whole project as one map: tasks, references, drafts, roles and accepted Project Memory, and the links between them. It shows at a glance what a piece of work relied on, and what relies on a decision.

The Memory Map of Lanternfall zooms into the Tasks cluster; hovering the task Level 3 puzzle: the Tide Clerk's ledger lights its links, and selecting it draws its six links to a role and five Project Memory records and opens its details.

Open Memory Map in the sidebar.

What is on it

  • Clusters for Tasks, Results, Project Memory, Roles, Planning, Files, Context packs and Rules. Inside Project Memory, records group by collection, otherwise by document.
  • Links come from the project itself: who a task is assigned to, what a task references, what a record is linked to, board connections, drafts and approvals. You never draw them by hand.
  • The layout stays the same between visits, so you can find things where you left them.

Moving around

  • Drag to pan; zoom with the wheel or a pinch. Zoomed out, clusters fold; zoom in and they open.
  • Hover a point to light up its links. Select it to open its details: its Neighbourhood at one or two hops, its links in and out, and a way to open it where it lives, such as Open in Project Memory or Open task.
  • Find on the map looks up a task, result, record or role. Fit all shows everything again.

Lenses

Lens changes what stands out: Overview, Needs review, Missing context, Ready for AI, Project Memory, or Task focus (a task and what is two links around it).

Using it

  • Before changing a decision, select it and see which tasks and results are linked to it.
  • Select a task and use Task focus to see what it is connected to.
  • An empty map means the project has nothing connected yet.

Only links on the Planning board can be edited from the map; everything else follows the project.
