The COMPEL Glossary Graph visualizes relationships between framework terminology, showing how concepts interconnect across domains, stages, and pillars. Term nodes cluster by pillar affiliation while cross-references reveal semantic dependencies — for example, how risk appetite connects to control effectiveness, model governance, and assurance requirements. This network representation helps practitioners navigate the framework vocabulary and understand that COMPEL terminology forms a coherent conceptual system rather than isolated definitions.
COMPEL Glossary / episodic-memory
Episodic memory
A form of long-term memory that recalls events from past sessions — "what happened when I ran last Tuesday" — analogous to human episodic memory.
What this means in practice
Used in research agents and long-horizon agents; governance concerns include retention and privacy because episodic memory can encode sensitive session history.
Synonyms
agent episodic memory , event-history memory
