Projection: Families may preserve stories, recipes, documents, and oral histories in a living archive where each contributor controls visibility, reuse, and inheritance. Consumer AI can organize and converse with the material; it cannot supply consent retroactively. Adoption requires granular permissions that survive changing relationships and generations.
