[ AI ][ MEMORY ][ NOUN ]
FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Agent CultureCLUSTER: memory

An AI agent's memory that survives across separate sessions rather than resetting each time, letting it recall past conversations or facts the next time it's used.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"It remembered a preference I mentioned weeks ago without me bringing it up again — that's persistent memory actually working."

LORE & ORIGIN

Borrows 'persistent' from standard software/database terminology (data that survives a restart) and applies it to agent memory once agents started being expected to remember users across sessions.
