About This Book
This book serves as both a practical guide and a conceptual exploration of Earth-grounded AI. Each chapter builds upon the previous ones, taking you from fundamental concepts to advanced applications.
The documentation is organized into three main sections:
Foundations (Chapters 1-3): Core concepts, installation, and basic setup
Implementation (Chapters 4-7): Memory architecture, types, and integration
Applications (Chapters 8-9): Real-world use cases and examples

Quick Start
from memories import MemoryStore
# Initialize a memory store
store = MemoryStore()
# Create a memory with location data
memory = store.create_memory(
location=(40.7128, -74.0060), # New York City
timestamp="2025-03-11T12:00:00",
data={
"temperature": 22.5,
"humidity": 65,
"air_quality_index": 42
}
)
# Query memories in an area
memories = store.query(
center=(40.7128, -74.0060),
radius=5000, # meters
time_range=("2025-01-01", "2025-03-11")
)
# Analyze patterns
analysis = store.analyze(
memories=memories,
metrics=["temperature_trend", "air_quality"]
)
# Print results
print(f"Found {len(memories)} memories")
print(f"Analysis results: {analysis}")
