Fortunate Recall: Ontology-Driven Memory Lifecycle Management for Persistent Coherence in LLMs

Fortunate Recall (FR) introduces an ontology-driven policy layer that categorizes personal facts into over ten behavioral types and applies tailored lifecycle rules—such as differential decay, supersession, and event-time validity—to manage memory persistence in large language models. The FR-Bank implementation, independent of underlying infrastructure, achieves a 76.9% pass rate on the new LifecycleBench benchmark and improves LongMemEval-S performance, while significantly reducing confabulation rates compared to prior systems. Ablation studies show that the generic lifecycle metadata drives correctness, whereas the behavioral ontology enhances calibration and reduces downstream hallucinations.

Fortunate Recall: Ontology-Driven Memory Lifecycle Management for Persistent Coherence in LLMs

Current LLM memory systems treat all personal facts identically, so stores grow without bound while retrieval precision degrades. The core challenge is lifecycle management: which memories should pers...

Less Context, More Accuracy: A Bi-Temporal Memory Engine for LLM Agents Where a Lean Retrieved Context Beats the Full History

arXiv:2606. 09900v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is the missing layer for LLM agents: across sessions they forget, and the common workaround -- replaying the whole history into the prompt -- is expensive, slow, and, as distractors accumulate, less accurate.

Memories That Outlive Their Reasons: Dependency-Tethered Memory for Tool-Using LLM Agents

The paper introduces Dependency‑Tethered Memory (Tether), a memory system for tool‑using LLM agents that records the exact versions of premises each verdict depends on. By withdrawing any verdict whose support has failed anywhere in the store, Tether reduces unsafe publications to 0.3% and cuts verification calls by 37% compared to naive fact memory, while maintaining similar recall. The study demonstrates that capturing dependencies is crucial for safe memory use, as weaker writers or delayed relation arrivals increase unsafe publication rates.
