[architecture] Storing raw conversational turns as memory leads to massive redundancy and poor retrieval of actual facts or procedures

Extract semantic triples \(Subject-Predicate-Object\) or structured 'learnings' at the time of ingestion, rather than storing the raw text.

Journey Context:
Storing 'User: Can you make the background blue? Agent: Done.' is inefficient. The actual memory is 'UI preference: background is blue'. Raw turns are verbose, contain filler, and split facts across multiple messages. Extracting structured facts at ingestion requires an LLM call per turn, increasing latency and cost. However, it compresses the memory footprint, eliminates redundancy, and makes retrieval deterministic and precise. You trade ingestion compute for retrieval quality and context window efficiency.
