This article makes the cognitive-architecture argument: the model has the cortex part, humanity&rsquo;s verbal and reasoning capacity in compressed form, but no working hippocampus of its own, and adding more text to its context will not give it one. Part 2 names the variable that determines whether the architectural alternative works. Part 3 describes what the engineering commitments actually look like.</em></p>
