[ AI ][ CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT ][ NOUN ]
The gradual, unintentional shift of an agent's understanding away from the original task as a conversation goes on, distinct from context poisoning by happening naturally over time rather than from a single corrupting input.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"By message forty the context had drifted so far it forgot the original question entirely."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'context-window'/'context-diffing' with a gradual-shift framing, borrowing 'drift' from the same slow-deviation language used across this dictionary.
