MoM: Memory of Memory

arXiv:2609.25054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For a long-horizon LLM agent, the memory question is not what was once recorded but what \emph{currently holds}. Most designs answer it only indirectly...

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.

Caching for the Future: Scrub Jay Episodic Memory Principles for Agent Memory Systems

LLM agents that persist across sessions accumulate stored memories whose validity varies enormously by content type, yet existing memory architectures treat all memories as equally persistent and systematically contaminate retrieved context with outdated facts. We show that per-memory, type-conditioned temporal decay, a property of western scrub jay episodic memory, can be operationalized as an auto-classified coefficient $π_i$ in an external LLM-agent memory store, yielding ScrubJay-MEM: each memory is encoded as a jointly-bound What--Where--When tuple with an estimated perishability $π_i$ and utility horizon $τ_i$, retrieved by query-adaptive scoring, and revised retroactively at $O(1)$ LLM calls per update.
