Where This Class Leads
What you leave able to do
- govern a swarm by information hierarchy
- reconcile a working set with the context window it must fit
- synthesise a long work that stays consistent across many generations
- synthesise a memory hierarchy for an agent
- synthesise a metalanguage for a problem domain
- synthesise a self extending agent behind a review gate
- synthesise an agent that carries notes across its own runs
How you show it. Paired runs of the same multi-step task with the note store kept and cleared, where the cleared run repeats a step the noted run skips, plus the note text the agent wrote and the later turn that cites it.
