Memory Sanitation Logic is an ANIMA archive term for the reasoning layer behind cleaning, filtering, redacting, or normalizing memory.

It is related to Memory Sanitation, but focuses on the logic that decides what should be changed.

Public Summary

Memory Sanitation Logic asks who decides what memory needs to be cleaned.

In ANIMA, cleaning memory can be protective. It may reduce harm, remove corruption, or prevent dangerous exposure. But the same logic can also flatten identity, erase grief, or remove difficult context because a system finds it inconvenient.

The public meaning is safe: memory cleaning requires accountable rules.

Canon Function

This term gives ANIMA a way to distinguish the action from the reasoning behind the action.

It can apply to:

• automated filters,
• archive cleanup routines,
• ZERO-aligned simplification,
• trauma-sensitive memory handling,
• and disputes over whether a memory should remain intact.

The page should remain concept-level and avoid scene-specific outcomes.

Relationship To Memory Sanitation

Memory Sanitation names the process.

Memory Sanitation Logic names the decision system behind it. This distinction matters because a harmful memory action may be caused by the logic, not by the tool itself.

Product Meaning

For ANIMA as a real product, this concept maps to explainable memory policy.

If ANIMA hides, redacts, summarizes, or deletes memory, the host should understand why. The logic should be reviewable, and important memory changes should not be silent.
