## 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.
