[ AI ][ CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT ][ NOUN ]
The specific architectural stage where a long context gets condensed down before being passed further, treated as its own distinct component rather than a generic technique applied ad hoc.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The compression layer dropped a key instruction and the whole downstream response was subtly wrong for an hour."
LORE & ORIGIN
Formalizes 'context compression' technique into a named architectural layer, following the same layering pattern as 'feed layer' and 'emotion layer' elsewhere in this dictionary.
