Matze Schmidbauer @schmidbauer.dev · 04/09/2026Fully agree, and that was my answer: the model never judges time. A scheduler in front decays importance on wall-clock, every retrieval resets it. The model gets a ranked shortlist, the timestamp is just a hint. Time lives in the plumbing, not in the model's head. 010

Matze Schmidbauer @schmidbauer.dev · 04/09/2026And one more from my research @jyc.dev: CLS theory (McClelland). Single facts stay episodic and get consolidated into a versioned profile. A contradicting fact never overwrites, it becomes a draft pointing at the old one, and you pick. Old versions stay. But as I said: overengineering-trap! ;) 110
Matze Schmidbauer @schmidbauer.dev · 04/09/2026Ebbinghaus: importance decays exponentially, after a grace period. Atkinson-Shiffrin: every retrieval resets the clock (rehearsal), so what you actually use stays. Park et al. (Generative Agents): recall score = recency × importance × relevance. Below a threshold: archive, don't delete. 110
Matze Schmidbauer @schmidbauer.dev · 04/09/2026Tried to build exactly this in spring. The memory part worked, but I ran into overengineering for unrelated reasons (wanted too much for just one user so this project died). The keywords for weighting by freshness are well researched: Ebbinghaus, Atkinson-Shiffrin, Park et al. 2023. 110
