Memory continues through traces that keep shaping perception long after their original object, institution or event has disappeared — this directional persistence, without the object's survival, is what VectorAfterlife names. The traces do not travel by themselves. HistoryRelay describes the actual transmission through which evidence moves between generations, media and institutions, each relay altering what it carries. What accumulates through these relays is not inert; VibrantRecord insists the archive is material capable of producing new relations and new consequences, not simply storage waiting to be consulted.
