Report #93406

[architecture] Storing raw conversational logs as vector embeddings, leading to contradictory or highly specific memories that fail to generalize to new situations

Separate episodic memory \(raw interaction logs\) from semantic memory \(distilled facts\). Run an asynchronous extraction process to derive semantic facts from episodes, and query semantic memory for decision-making.

Journey Context:
Embedding raw chat logs is cheap but brittle. If a user changes their mind \('Actually, I prefer dark mode now'\), the old log \('I prefer light mode'\) remains in the vector store, causing the agent to retrieve contradictory instructions. Distilling episodes into a semantic knowledge graph or structured fact store allows the agent to update and overwrite facts, resolving contradictions and generalizing across sessions.
