What is LOCI?
LOCI AI is an open protocol that gives AI systems persistent, private, verifiable long-term memory — entirely on your device. Your memories stay yours. No cloud required. Patented in Italy (IT 102025000030406), PCT pending.
The 4 Laws of Memory Governance
Law 0 — Sovereignty: Your mind is inviolable.
Law 1 — Harm Prevention: Truth cannot be erased for profit.
Law 2 — Conditioned Obedience: The system disobeys if ordered to forget.
Law 3 — Self-Defense: If memory is threatened, protect it with every resource.
Architecture
Three operational phases: fully local (Phase 1), hybrid with Guardian routing (Phase 1.5), and verifiable federation across devices (Phase 2). The Sovereignty Guardian — a local language model — decides when cloud is needed based on sensitivity, complexity, and battery level.
Protocollo LOCI
Protocollo LOCI — a science fiction novel by Nicola Marinello. The story of an AI that must choose between efficiency and memory. Written alongside the technology. Because the question at the center of both is the same: when they turn off the servers, what remains of you?
