Mnemosyne Protocol: The Contextual Orchestration Framework for Generative Media (v1.6 Benchmarks & Baselines)

(Abstract + short pitch) Generative AI models (LLMs and diffusion/video models) achieve state-of-the-art results in isolated tasks but suffer from Contextual Fragmentation in temporal workflows, leading to continuity drift and expensive human rework. This paper introduces the Mnemosyne Protocol, a vector-based orchestration layer designed to maintain semantic and visual consistency across heterogeneous generative systems while enforcing Local-First Sovereignty for studio IP. Mnemosyne operationalizes continuity as a discrete-time, fail-closed verification gate (a conjunctive product-of-constraints) evaluated across frame sequences, with an explicit rollback + localized re-sampling mechanism before final rendering. Preliminary simulations demonstrate substantial reductions in continuity hallucination rates under defined constraints. What’s new in (v1.6 Benchmarks & Baselines)v1.6 adds reproducible benchmarks/baselines + standardized metrics and publishes executable traces to make the claims falsifiable.
