Who knows what

Actor or store	What it knows	Canonical to B.R.A.I.N.?	Survives provider swap?	Trusted automatically?
User/owner	Intent, teachings, corrections	Source of authority, not a store	Yes	No bypass of validation
B.R.A.I.N.	Records, evidence, documents, lineage	Yes	Yes	N/A
Gemini	Reasoning, Live behavior, pretrained knowledge	No	No	No
Documents	External source content	Retained as artifacts/evidence	Yes	No
Embeddings	Retrieval representation	Derived only	Rebuildable	No
Basic Memory	Development notes	No	Separate	No
Future web/sensors/local LLM/S.P.O.C.K.	Adapter-specific	No until accepted	Varies	No

S.P.O.C.K. may later execute bounded engineering work after evaluation; it does not own B.R.A.I.N.’s cognition.
