The above MIT license grant covers the software source code in this repository.
It does not grant any license to patents held or applied for by Westfield
Innovations LLC, including but not limited to patents covering the following
methods and systems embodied in the Pressure-Driven Memory (PDM) system:

  1. Pressure-based memory retrieval and ranking (threshold-driven recall).
  2. Resonance retrieval via threshold-adjustment search (TAS).
  3. Temporal deformation geometry for deadline-aware memory pressure.
  4. Validation coefficient computation for memory signal quality.
  5. Incremental decay without a scheduler (time-delta-based decay on read).

The license granted by this file permits you to:
  ✓ Use this SDK (pdm-memory) in your applications.
  ✓ Distribute applications that incorporate this SDK.
  ✓ Modify this SDK for your own use or contribution back to this repository.

This license does NOT permit you to:
  ✗ Reimplement the patented PDM algorithms independently (outside this SDK).
  ✗ Use the patent claims of PDM to build a competing product.
  ✗ Sub-license the patent rights granted herein to third parties.

Use of the SDK constitutes acceptance of these additional terms.
