Garbage Collection, GC
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
The system automatically monitors and releases memory space that is no longer in use, preventing memory leaks.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Automated decluttering. Any system (including life) that runs for a long time will generate garbage (ineffective social interactions, outdated knowledge). Do not rely on manual cleanup (willpower); establish an automatic GC mechanism (such as regularly unfollowing, regularly discarding things, regularly reviewing) to prevent the system from being blocked by garbage.
Anchor fast decisions
GC automatically tracks the reachability of objects (starting from root references), reclaims memory that is no longer referenced and cannot be accessed, preventing memory leaks and dangling pointers. The mechanism is "reachability analysis + automatic release," transferring the risk of manual memory management to the runtime.
