Three ways to remember the same thing, with the trade stated as a measurement
rather than a slogan.
**Photographic** — one cell per item, exact. Recall returns the stored vector
bit for bit. Cost: ``O(1)`` storage per item and a hard capacity. This is the
right default: in this machine a cell already holds a full 10 000-bit vector, so
degrading recall to save space buys nothing.
**Holographic** — every item is bound into one superposition and the trace is
recovered by *majority*, per bit:
trace_bit = 1 if more than half of the bound terms have that bit set
Unbinding one key leaves the item plus crosstalk from the others, so recall is
a cleanup step: argmax similarity over a codebook. Majority is the whole
point. The obvious alternative, XOR accumulation, does **not** work: with
``trace ^= bind(k, v)`` the crosstalk is an XOR of random terms, which is
itself random at every bit, so recall is chance at any k — measured at 0%
below. Majority crosstalk instead grows as ``sqrt(k)`` against a signal of
``d``, so similarity decays smoothly and retrieval keeps working for a while.
**Hybrid** — photographic buckets, each with its own holographic trace. The
exact index answers hits at full fidelity; the trace answers approximate
queries and survives index eviction. That is a cache with a degradation path
rather than a cliff.
