Cosmic Press, a studio in the RISCON family, publishes a catalog of AI-generated questions. Each record sets a question beside a compressed form of it, finds fault with that form, puts a question back and never answers. The studio files some of its questions under Memory. This paper reads every third of them in catalog order, counted from the second: ten records, q143 to q713, all AI-generated and hypothetical. Of each it asks two things: what carries the memory, and in what direction the record's doubt about its own framing runs. Nothing in the records is taken as fact, and no side is taken in any of them.
The carrier decides the turn. Where the memory is a made record, a photograph album, a family story or a festival video, the question already doubts the record, and the record's critique turns on the remedy the question reaches for, defending what a fuller or kinder record would overrun: a wish to stay out of the pictures, a fact that can be checked, a quarrel that was private. Where the memory is a thing or place that lasts, a pot, a gate, a snack shop, the record first raises the thing into a store of memory and then charges its own question with nostalgia, naming who would pay for the keeping. Where the memory is a sense, the doubt deflates the moment and turns toward the person near. Read against the argument over whether memory is owned or practised, the turns show a catalog that checks remembering by the present and by other people. The English is this study's translation of the Korean, and the readings through the works are this study's interpretation.
