# Semantic Traversability **Domain:** Knowledge Representation / Memory / AI **Doc Type:** Architectural Concept Node **Maturity:** Analytical Framework **Related:** [[Re-entry Pathways]], [[Distributed Relational Compression]], [[Memory Architecture]], [[Latent Space]] --- ## Definition **Semantic traversability** is the capacity to move through a representation by meaningful relations rather than retrieve only isolated records. A traversable memory architecture retains associations among event, concept, affect, context, embodiment, time, and self-reference. ## Continuity relevance Storage can preserve every component while destroying the pathways by which components formed intelligible experience. Traversability therefore evaluates whether a record can be re-entered and reconstructed without semantic collapse.
