[architecture] All retrieved memories get equal weight, so irrelevant chunks dilute the answer

Score memories by recency, relevance, and importance; trim to a strict top-K; place the most relevant evidence closest to the final question.

Journey Context:
Prompt budget is scarce. Including a near-match from an old session next to a perfect match from today misleads the model. Generative Agents introduced recency × relevance × importance scoring. Anthropic's long-context experiments show that distance between evidence and the question degrades recall, so re-rank, cap, and order strategically rather than dumping everything.
