📖What it means
What an agent retains between conversations — what was said, what was learned, what matters about a person. Distinct from grounding: memory is recall, grounding is looking things up now.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Grounding
Memory recalls what was seen before; grounding reads what is true now.
Not: Context
Memory is durable across sessions; context is what fits in the current one.
