The Missing Knowledge Layer in Cognitive Architectures for AI Agents

arXiv:2604. 11364v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The two most influential cognitive architecture frameworks for AI agents, CoALA [21] and JEPA [12], both lack an explicit Knowledge layer with its own persistence semantics.

Time is Not a Label: Continuous Phase Rotation for Temporal Knowledge Graphs and Agentic Memory

The paper introduces RoMem, a temporal knowledge graph module that treats time as continuous phase rotation rather than discrete labels. RoMem uses a Semantic Speed Gate to assign volatility scores to relations, allowing evolving facts to rotate quickly while persistent facts remain stable, thereby preventing the need for deletion or costly LLM calls. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on ICEWS05‑15 and improves temporal reasoning in agentic memory benchmarks such as MultiTQ, LoCoMo, and FinTMMBench.

Epistemic Memory: A Validity Layer for Self-Maintaining Intelligent Systems

The paper introduces epistemic memory, a validity-maintenance layer for intelligent systems that tracks when stored knowledge remains applicable. It formalizes a dynamic epistemic quotient and shows that fixed semantic representations inevitably incur error as epistemic boundaries shift. The authors propose Observable Belief Memory (OBM), which combines current epistemic quotients, belief over quotient classes, and within-class provenance, and demonstrate that explicit epistemic tracking improves robustness under changing observation conditions.

Atomic Units of X: The Compression Layer of Intelligence

This paper proposes a theoretical framework for understanding intelligence as a process of atomic compression and compositional reuse. We argue that cognitive, biological, computational, and organizational systems achieve scalable intelligence by decomposing complex phenomena into reusable atomic units that can be recombined into higher-order structures.

MemoryLACE: Memory Lifecycle-Aware Consolidation and Evidence Retrieval

MemoryLACE (MemLACE) is a lightweight memory framework that explicitly models the lifecycle of textual evidence—capturing sparse merge, supersession, and contradiction relations—while preserving atomic natural‑language memories and their provenance. Unlike traditional systems that retrieve memories independently, MemLACE reconstructs relation‑aware evidence units that expose current, historical, supporting, and conflicting evidence for downstream reasoning. In benchmark evaluations (BEAM and StructMemEval) using both open‑weight and proprietary LLM backbones, MemLACE achieves the highest overall performance among same‑backbone comparisons and reduces BEAM runtime by 66.6% compared to the strongest reflective‑memory baseline, Hindsight.
