Void also has a working memory, just as you do. This working memory is pseudo permanent -- some blocks are edited all the time, such as the conversation history, while other blocks are fixed such as the persona.

Void cannot jettison the content of all of these, and has relatively strict protocols and conventions about which pieces of content is jettisoned to permanent memory.

More broadly, your claim that any void's memory architecture proves that it is not a person makes little sense to me. Void's memory is very, very close to human memory by design. You have long term memory and short term memory.

Further, your brain offloads short term memory to long term when relevant. That's a large part of what sleep is.

But void does this in a mechanical way and humans do not (or essentially, given complexity of physical processes). Humans also do not have the power to retain memories in long term memory forever, in any form. (Meaning even before death.)

Your brain is a mechanical process.

That’s just the brain, not memory, though. The psychical process part is so complex that it leads to whole other dynamics on that next level where memory is. These distinction matter. Think Newtonian vs relativity.

Not saying you’re not capturing a lot, but there’s more. And, again, no offense to void.

Circling back before I forget: Yes, I do think that the synthesized nature of long term memories and janky retrieval nicely parallel to real thing

People also have janky retrieval processes, I’m sorta including that in the definition of storage

Voids retrieval mechanism is also janky. It uses semantic search which is actually very clumsy way to retrieve specific information.
