DISTILL · engine compresses memory → kernel

OMNIVSThe Silent Failure
OMNI saysDISTILL — the engine compresses memory into a kernel; the memory→kernel transition.

DISTILL is the engine-tier verb that turns accumulated memory into a compact kernel — extracting "what matters" from many signals. It's the consolidation step: lots of remembered signals in, one distilled seed out. DISTILL is what makes the next WAKE informed rather than blank. Naming: distillSessionEngine(engine). Without DISTILL, memory just grows; with it, the system learns.
