Memory versus knowledge

Thing	Canonical?	Persistent?	Owner
Accepted personal record	Yes	Yes	B.R.A.I.N.
Document artifact and metadata	Yes	Yes	B.R.A.I.N. portable storage + database
Embedding/vector index	No, derived	Rebuildable	B.R.A.I.N.
Gemini pretrained knowledge	No	Provider-owned	Gemini
A transient provider answer	No by itself	No by itself	Provider
Basic Memory note	No cognitive role	Separate development store	Basic Memory

A document chunk is knowledge evidence, not a personal belief. A provider answer may be evaluated, but it does not automatically enter canonical state. See who knows what.
