Three features that make PALIMPSESTE fundamentally different from any LLM:
1. **InstantExpert**: ingest any text document and become an expert instantly.
No training, no epoch, no gradient. O(N) one-pass write. Every fact in the
document becomes immediately retrievable.
2. **Dreamer**: when idle, the system replays its memory, discovers co-
activations, and creates new abstract concepts — becoming smarter without
any new data. This is sleep consolidation for an associative memory.
3. **Composer**: decomposes complex questions into sub-questions, resolves
each via multi-hop chaining, and composes a final answer. This is
compositional reasoning over the HV substrate.
No transformer. No attention matrix. No gradient. No GPU.
