What it is
Persistent memory substrate. Originally instantiated as Juniper.
Stores, surfaces, and connects contextual memory across long-running research sessions. The substrate that lets instruments remember across time.
Its routing layer (Juniper-as-router) enforces the local-first, escalate-on-attention rule that protects API quota.
Where it sits
SILT is catalogued under Infrastructure & Platforms in the instrument registry. Instruments in this group share a concern and are frequently composed rather than used alone; the related entries below are the nearest ones.
This is a registry entry: a real instrument, documented here, without a public endpoint a stranger can open. Pages carrying source excerpts and measured results are marked as such in the catalog. If you want detail on this one specifically, ask about it directly.
