SummaryA study of agent memory retention decisions, proposing category-conditioned confidence thresholds instead of a single global threshold. Evaluation on 100 synthetic personas shows value/belief assertions have lower source support (77.9%) than other categories (96.2%); a stricter bar on values reduces unsupported retentions by 36% relative.
Why it mattersTests whether a single retention threshold is the right primitive for agent memory. The category-conditioned approach is a concrete write-time filter with measured tradeoffs, though evaluated on synthetic data.
