Explicit, Not Longer: What Makes Epistemic Stance Survive Memory Compression

arXiv:2608. 06953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent memory systems compress what they store, and compression is built to drop qualifiers, so a claim's epistemic standing tends not to survive being written to memory.

Plan Pointers and Record-Directive Form in Budgeted Verification of Inherited Agent Memory

The paper reports on a series of experiments examining how different forms of directives—such as record pointers, criteria, or combinations—affect an agent’s choice of archived source records when it inherits six one-line memories. Across twelve registered studies involving 14,760 attempts on a single instrument lineage, the authors measured the impact of various directive formats on six direct-provider models, nine OpenRouter-served models, and several Claude and Opus 5 models, noting differences in performance metrics and replication outcomes. The results are purely descriptive, detailing the effects of exact edits on fixed panels with registered intervals and no claim of underlying mechanisms.
