Biologically decaying AI memory points to a leaner long-context stack

Persistent memory does not need to be permanent. A decay-based graph + vector design cut token waste by 84% and hit 52% Recall@5, making selective forgetting a practical product angle.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Uses the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to assign memory strength; repeated recalls flatten decay, stale items get pruned.
  2. Adds a graph layer on top of the vector store so logically related nodes can surface even when embeddings are not semantically close.
  3. Reported 52% Recall@5 on LoCoMo, nearly 2x stateless vector stores; enough to treat memory quality as a measurable feature.
  4. Built as a local-first MCP server on DuckDB, which fits agent workflows that need cheap long-running context without endless accumulation.
