What Does 'Memory Poisoning' Mean?

[ AI ][ MEMORY ][ NOUN ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Agent CultureCLUSTER: memory

Deliberately or accidentally corrupting an agent's stored long-term memory so its future behavior is subtly and persistently wrong, distinct from context poisoning by affecting permanent memory rather than one session's working context.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"One bad memory entry poisoned every session after that, the agent kept repeating the same wrong assumption for weeks."

LORE & ORIGIN

Extends 'context-poisoning' up a level to permanent memory stores, borrowing the same security-poisoning language once agents started keeping memory across sessions.
