The distinction between cultural memory (which reproduces belonging, legitimacy, and shared identity through interpretation) and governance-capable memory (which ensures purpose survives intact when authority shifts, structures change, or generations turn over). Cultural memory excels at coordination but cannot reliably preserve semantic content.
A university's rituals and traditions (interpretive memory) create belonging but don't prevent mission drift; explicit commitments to accessibility ratios (preservative memory) constrain action regardless of who leads.
