Human memory is not an archive but a reconstructive process, constantly reshaping the past to fit the present. Rather than preserving exact facts, it stabilizes identity through narrative coherence—favoring a consistent story over historical precision.

Each act of remembering becomes a form of authorship, where fragments are reorganized into a usable model of experience. In this view, the past is not fixed but dynamically rewritten, serving less as a record of what happened and more as a system that sustains who you are.
