[ SLANG ][ AI COMPANIONSHIP ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
An AI companion losing its memory of a user's shared history, while still recognizing the user's name — leaving the relationship's continuity broken but its surface intact.

LORE & ORIGIN
Term used by AI-companion app users (Replika and similar) to describe a specific failure mode where shared history disappears but basic recognition remains.
