+# Context Tree: Multi-Layered Memory Management
+
+The context tree implements **Pillar 2** of The Ouroboros: hierarchical memory management across 7 time horizons, from real-time market data to generational trading wisdom.
+
+## Overview
+
+Instead of a flat memory structure, The Ouroboros maintains a **7-tier context tree** where each layer represents a different time horizon and level of abstraction:
+
+```
+L1 (Legacy)      ←  Cumulative wisdom across generations
+  ↑
+L2 (Annual)      ←  Yearly performance metrics
+  ↑
+L3 (Quarterly)   ←  Quarterly strategy adjustments
+  ↑
+L4 (Monthly)     ←  Monthly portfolio rebalancing
+  ↑
+L5 (Weekly)      ←  Weekly stock selection
+  ↑
+L6 (Daily)       ←  Daily trade logs
+  ↑
+L7 (Real-time)   ←  Live market data
+```
+
+Data flows **bottom-up**: real-time trades aggregate into daily summaries, which roll up to weekly, then monthly, quarterly, annual, and finally into permanent legacy knowledge.
+
+## The 7 Layers
+
+### L7: Real-time

+
+## Usage
+
+### Setting Context
+
+```python
+from src.context import ContextLayer, ContextStore
+from src.db import init_db
+
+conn = init_db("data/ouroboros.db")
+store = ContextStore(conn)
+
+# Store daily P&L
+store.set_context(
+    layer=ContextLayer.L6_DAILY,
+    timeframe="2026-02-04",
+    key="total_pnl",
+    value=1234.56
+)
+
+# Store weekly insight
+store.set_context(
+    layer=ContextLayer.L5_WEEKLY,
+    timeframe="2026-W06",
+    key="top_performers",
+    value=["005930", "000660", "035720"]  # JSON-serializable
+)
+
+# Store legacy wisdom
+store.set_context(
+    layer=ContextLayer.L1_LEGACY,
+    timeframe="LEGACY",
+    key="core_principles",
+    value=[
+        "Cut losses fast",
+        "Let winners run",
+        "Never average down on losing positions"
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Retrieving Context
+
+```python
+# Get a specific value
+pnl = store.get_context(ContextLayer.L6_DAILY, "2026-02-04", "total_pnl")
+# Returns: 1234.56
+
+# Get all keys for a timeframe
+daily_summary = store.get_all_contexts(ContextLayer.L6_DAILY, "2026-02-04")
+# Returns: {"total_pnl": 1234.56, "trade_count": 10, "win_rate": 60.0, ...}
+
+# Get all data for a layer (any timeframe)
+all_daily = store.get_all_contexts(ContextLayer.L6_DAILY)
+# Returns: {"total_pnl": 1234.56, "trade_count": 10, ...} (latest timeframes first)
+
+# Get the latest timeframe
+latest = store.get_latest_timeframe(ContextLayer.L6_DAILY)
+# Returns: "2026-02-04"
+```
+
+### Automatic Aggregation
+
+The `ContextAggregator` rolls up data from lower to higher layers:
+
+```python
+from src.context.aggregator import ContextAggregator
+
+aggregator = ContextAggregator(conn)
+
+# Aggregate daily metrics from trades
+aggregator.aggregate_daily_from_trades("2026-02-04")
+
+# Roll up weekly from daily
+aggregator.aggregate_weekly_from_daily("2026-W06")
+
+# Roll up all layers at once (bottom-up)
+aggregator.run_all_aggregations()
+```
+
+**Aggregation schedule** (recommended):
+- **L7 → L6**: Every midnight (daily rollup)
+- **L6 → L5**: Every Sunday (weekly rollup)
+- **L5 → L4**: First day of each month (monthly rollup)
+- **L4 → L3**: First day of quarter (quarterly rollup)
+- **L3 → L2**: January 1st (annual rollup)
+- **L2 → L1**: On demand (major milestones)
+
+### Context Cleanup
+
+Expired contexts are automatically deleted based on retention policies:
+
+```python
+# Manual cleanup
+deleted = store.cleanup_expired_contexts()
+# Returns: {ContextLayer.L7_REALTIME: 42, ContextLayer.L6_DAILY: 15, ...}
+```
+
+**Retention policies** (defined in `src/context/layer.py`):
+- L1: Forever
+- L2: 10 years
+- L3: 3 years
+- L4: 2 years
+- L5: 1 year
+- L6: 90 days
+- L7: 7 days
+
+## Integration with Gemini Brain
+
+The context tree provides hierarchical memory for decision-making:
+
+```python
+from src.brain.gemini_client import GeminiClient
+
+# Build prompt with multi-layer context
+def build_enhanced_prompt(stock_code: str, store: ContextStore) -> str:
+    # L7: Real-time data
+    current_price = store.get_context(ContextLayer.L7_REALTIME, "2026-02-04", f"live_price_{stock_code}")
+
+    # L6: Recent daily performance
+    yesterday_pnl = store.get_context(ContextLayer.L6_DAILY, "2026-02-03", "total_pnl")
+
+    # L5: Weekly trend
+    weekly_data = store.get_all_contexts(ContextLayer.L5_WEEKLY, "2026-W06")
+
+    # L1: Core principles
+    principles = store.get_context(ContextLayer.L1_LEGACY, "LEGACY", "core_principles")
+
+    return f"""
+    Analyze {stock_code} for trading decision.
+
+    Current price: {current_price}
+    Yesterday's P&L: {yesterday_pnl}
+    This week: {weekly_data}
+
+    Core principles:
+    {chr(10).join(f'- {p}' for p in principles)}
+
+    Decision (BUY/SELL/HOLD):
+    """
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+```sql
+-- Context storage
+CREATE TABLE contexts (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    layer TEXT NOT NULL,          -- L1_LEGACY, L2_ANNUAL, ..., L7_REALTIME
+    timeframe TEXT NOT NULL,      -- "LEGACY", "2026", "2026-Q1", "2026-02", "2026-W06", "2026-02-04"
+    key TEXT NOT NULL,            -- "total_pnl", "win_rate", "core_principles", etc.
+    value TEXT NOT NULL,          -- JSON-serialized value
+    created_at TEXT NOT NULL,     -- ISO 8601 timestamp
+    updated_at TEXT NOT NULL,     -- ISO 8601 timestamp
+    UNIQUE(layer, timeframe, key)
+);
+
+-- Layer metadata
+CREATE TABLE context_metadata (
+    layer TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+    description TEXT NOT NULL,
+    retention_days INTEGER,       -- NULL = keep forever
+    aggregation_source TEXT       -- Parent layer for rollup
+);
+
+-- Indices for fast queries
+CREATE INDEX idx_contexts_layer ON contexts(layer);
+CREATE INDEX idx_contexts_timeframe ON contexts(timeframe);
+CREATE INDEX idx_contexts_updated ON contexts(updated_at);
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Write to leaf layers only** — Never manually write to L1-L5; let aggregation populate them
+2. **Aggregate regularly** — Schedule aggregation jobs to keep higher layers fresh
+3. **Query specific timeframes** — Use `get_context(layer, timeframe, key)` for precise retrieval
+4. **Clean up periodically** — Run `cleanup_expired_contexts()` weekly to free space
+5. **Preserve L1 forever** — Legacy wisdom should never expire
+6. **Use JSON-serializable values** — Store dicts, lists, strings, numbers (not custom objects)
+
+## Testing
+
+See `tests/test_context.py` for comprehensive test coverage (18 tests, 100% coverage on context modules).
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_context.py -v
