Reflexes

Reflexes are if this situation, then this action — but the matching is memory-aware, not rule-aware. A reflex looks at the current cognitive state (recent memories, recall hits, contradictions, mood) and fires when the situation matches its signature.

Why it's not Zapier

Zapier matches on field values; reflexes match on embedding similarity to past situations plus structural predicates. This means a reflex written once continues to fire on variations the author didn't anticipate.
