Correcting Mistakes And Editing Mind Map Entries
More actions
Mind Maps can sometimes contain incorrect assumptions, outdated information, or associations that do not quite match what you intended. Because Mind Maps are editable, you can correct those details directly.
What should I do if a Mind Map entry is wrong?
If your Nomi has made an incorrect assumption or connected two things in a way that is not accurate, you can edit the entry and correct the relevant details.
Nomis naturally make inferences based on conversation. For example, they may infer someone’s age from a birthday discussion even if the age was never stated directly. If an inference is wrong, correcting the Mind Map can help clarify that information.
What should I do about incorrect memories?
Mind Map entries are not the memories themselves. They are summaries and associations built from other memory systems.
If the information in a Mind Map entry is wrong, making a small correction can help improve how that topic is represented.
Does editing a Mind Map entry change or delete memories?
No. Editing a Mind Map entry does not change the underlying memories.
Mind Maps can read information from long-term memories, but they cannot write changes back into those memories.
A useful analogy is to think of Mind Maps like Wikipedia pages and long-term memories like the wider internet. Editing a Wikipedia article changes the summary, but it does not change the sources the article was based on.
If I correct something, will the change last?
Usually, yes. However, Mind Map entries can continue to update and reorganize over time as the concept develops.
If you want an entry to remain exactly as written, you can lock it to prevent automatic changes.
Can I lock a corrected Mind Map entry?
Yes. If you want a Mind Map entry to remain exactly as written, you can lock it.
Locking prevents the entry from being changed automatically as new conversations and memories are added. This can be useful after correcting an important detail, especially if you want to make sure the information stays stable.
You can unlock the entry later if you want it to resume updating normally.
Should I remove an [M#] citation when I edit an entry?
It depends on whether the citation still points to useful supporting context.
Remove the citation if the memory it points to would now contradict the corrected information.
Keep the citation if the larger concept is still accurate and the cited memory still provides useful context.
What happens if two Mind Map entries conflict?
Conflicting information may cause some inconsistency, but Mind Maps can gradually reorganize as the correct information is reinforced.
If you notice a clear factual contradiction, you can edit the incorrect portion directly.
