Narrative Memory Evolution (NME): How Physical Matrices Persist, Decay, and Transform in Reader Memory

The Bulut Doctrine's Objective Projection methodology models the Biophysical Output generated by a Physical Matrix at the moment of reading. Narrative Momentum extends this to the temporal arc within a single reading session. However, the Doctrine does not yet model what happens to the Physical Matrix in reader memory after the reading event ends: how biophysical traces persist, how they decay, how re-reading modifies them, and how accumulated life experience transforms the reader's retrospective interpretation of a Physical Matrix encountered years earlier. This paper introduces Narrative Memory Evolution (NME) as the Doctrine's long-term temporal layer: the formal model of Physical Matrix persistence in reader memory across days, months, and years. Three constructs are introduced: Biophysical Trace Decay (BTD), Experiential Recontextualisation (ER), and Re-reading Amplification (RA). Together, they extend the Doctrine's explanatory scope from the moment of reading to the full lifespan of a text's influence on a reader.
