✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments on diverse benchmarks demonstrate improved retention and reduced catastrophic forgetting over other continual LoRA strategies.

C2weakest assumption

That input-conditioned attention can reliably retrieve and consolidate short-term LoRA updates into a stable distributed representation while preserving unused capacity for future tasks, without introducing hidden costs or interference.

C3one line summary

ProCL organizes LoRA adapters into input-conditioned program memory slots that combine with a distributed adapter to improve retention and reduce forgetting in continual LLM fine-tuning.
