Read the equation

The source suggests combining indexed functions over a differential quantity dΩ, but the displayed sum-and-colon notation does not define an integration domain or measure. It is a schematic memory-trace analogy. The adjacent executable scalar rule is clear: add 0.02 times normalized input plus utility.

Terms & definitions

The recovered passage does not supply a separate symbol table. Read the source context for the notation used in this version; familiar letters may carry different meanings in other builds.

How it works

Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.

Assumptions & limits

Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

Original context

Read the surrounding source passage
## 3.14 Family 13: Memory Trace (Zecher)

```
f₁₃(x) = x + 0.02 · (dx_norm + utility)
```

**Equation Type**: Trace accumulation: x'_i = Σ f_i : dΩ

**Explanation**: Slowly accumulates both change and utility signals, creating persistent memory traces. Named "Zecher" (Hebrew for "memory").

## 3.15 Family 14: Decisive Action / Policy

```
f₁₄(x) = x + 0.15 · softsign(utility) - 0.05 · ed_error
```

**Equation Type**: Policy gradient: π(a|s)
Exact original notation
Trace accumulation: x'_i = Σ f_i : dΩ
