The Echo Amplifies the Knowledge: Somatic Marker Analogues in Language Models via Emotion Vector Re-Injection

ArXi:2605.08611v1 Announce Type: new Current language model memory systems what happened but not how it felt. This distinction -- between semantic memory (knowing about a past event) and episodic memory (re-experiencing it) -- was identified by Tulving as the difference between noetic and autonoetic consciousness.
