Retrieval Reflex — retrieve on demand, when an entity is salient
A person doesn't bulk-load their whole address book into working memory. They retrieve on demand, when an entity becomes salient, use it, and drop it. Encode that reflex. The brain probably has the data — if a name is salient and you haven't opened its page, open it before you answer.
Trigger policy — WHEN to retrieve
Retrieve when ANY of these holds AND the page isn't already loaded in context:
- An entity (person / company / project / deal / place) is the subject of the message, or a decision/judgment about it is being made, or the exchange is substantive / relational / emotional about it.
- A brain-page pointer appeared in context this turn (the deterministic layer told you the page exists) — open it before relying on details.
- A name or term appears that you don't recognize and that looks notable → do a quick resolve (the human reflex).
- You're about to assert a non-trivial detail about an entity (attribution, status, history) → verify against the brain first. Say "let me check", not a guess.
Skip trivial passing mentions, logistics pings, and anything already load…
