## One-line Takeaway
Memory 应保留会改变决策的历史差异,而不是优先保留描述最相似或最完整的记录。
## Pilot Skim
- problem: relevance、salience 和 summary fidelity 没有直接刻画 memory 对未来决策的价值。
- method: 在 K 个 runtime state 预算下定义 decision distortion、forgetting boundary,并按 certified conflict 拆分 state。
- evidence: LoCoMo 子集上描述相似度与 evidence compatibility 的相关仅 0.103matched budget 下 DeMem gold evidence recall 为 83%,描述检索为 66%。
- boundary: 理论主要在 contextual bandit 和有限状态设定中建立,实际 LLM 冲突判定仍依赖 judge 与近似算法。
