Core Concepts

Welcome to Papr Memory's core concepts. This section explains the fundamental ideas and principles that power our system. Understanding these concepts will help you build more effective applications with Papr Memory.

Key Concepts Overview

Memory Model

Learn about our unified memory model that combines vector embeddings with graph relationships. Understand how Papr Memory structures and organizes information for optimal retrieval.

Vector and Graph

Dive into how we combine vector similarity search with graph relationships to create a powerful hybrid search system that understands both content and context.

Context and Relationships

Explore how Papr Memory handles context and relationships between pieces of information, enabling rich, contextual information retrieval.

ACL and User Management

Understand our security model, access control lists (ACL), and multi-tenancy features that make Papr Memory enterprise-ready.

How These Concepts Work Together

1. Information Storage

   • Content is processed through the Memory Model
   • Vector embeddings are generated
   • Graph relationships are established
   • Context is preserved

2. Information Retrieval

   • Queries use both vector and graph search
   • Context influences search results
   • Access controls are enforced
   • Results are ranked by relevance

3. Information Management

   • Multi-tenant isolation
   • Fine-grained access control
   • Real-time updates
   • Relationship maintenance
