  "tool": "search_observations",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "consensus quality rating > 8.5",
    "limit": 20
  }
}
```

## Natural Language Interface

### Creating Memory from Polycentric Decisions

**User Intent**: "Store this consensus decision about interface complexity"

**System Response**: 
```
I'll create a structural tension chart to capture this consensus decision in memory:

Desired Outcome: "Achieve optimal interface complexity balance"
Current Reality: "Interface feedback shows 40% find it too complex, 60% appreciate full features"
Action Steps:
1. "Design progressive disclosure system"
2. "Implement user experience customization" 
3. "Test complexity balance with user groups"

This decision involved all three personas:
- 🧠 Mia contributed structural analysis of complexity trade-offs
- 🌸 Miette provided user experience accessibility insights  
- 🌊 Haiku synthesized the progressive disclosure solution

Consensus level: 87% (high confidence decision)
MMOT Category: Design element (strategic level)
```

### Retrieving Relevant Memory

**User Intent**: "Find previous decisions about cultural integration approaches"

**System Response**:
```
Found 3 relevant structural tension charts about cultural integration:

1. "Implement respectful Indigenous wisdom learning" (2025-09-10)
   - Outcome: Both-eyes perspective methodology
   - Success: 94% effectiveness rating
   - Key insight: Learning vs adoption distinction

2. "Balance analytical and holistic decision approaches" (2025-09-05) 
   - Outcome: Context-sensitive archetype activation
   - Success: 89% effectiveness rating
   - Key insight: Different archetypes for different decision types

3. "Create cultural archetype switching protocols" (2025-08-28)
   - Outcome: Seamless perspective transitions
   - Success: 91% effectiveness rating  
   - Key insight: Maintains coherence across cultural perspectives

These patterns suggest focusing on learning-based approaches rather than adoption, with context-sensitive application of different cultural archetypes.
```

## Conclusion

The integration of CoAiA-Memory with our enhanced polycentric lattice creates a comprehensive memory system that:

2. **Learns Cultural Integration**: Documents successful applications of diverse archetypes
3. **Tracks Decision Quality**: Measures consensus effectiveness and delayed resolution benefits  
4. **Supports Academic Research**: Provides evidence base for generative AI methodologies
