Relations in cognitive memory (SOLVES, BUILDS_ON, REQUIRES, etc.) are not valuable in practice. Only 13% of memories have them, recall doesn't use them for ranking, and tags already group related memories together effectively. The separate 'related' command requires knowing a UUID upfront. Decision: stop adding relations, rely on tags and content for discoverability.
