Definition
The architectural process of distilling ephemeral conversational history into a structured, persistent storage format to ensure long-term agent coherence and recall without exceeding context window limits. This typically involves using an LLM to summarize past interactions, extract key entities, and index the results into a vector database for future RAG retrieval.
Not biological neural pathway strengthening, but the programmatic compression of session state into long-term retrieval indices.
