Connects personal anecdotes (46 completed courses, Waterloo–Paris–Napoleon–ABBA chain) to three concrete claims about memory: prioritize context over content supported by amygdala-driven labeling and serendipitous recall; memory as evolving graphs where nodes and relationship properties change over time; and current agents having stateless agent memory that fails to persist learning, so persistent long‑term storage using property/label graphs (Neo4j) is proposed and prototyped as the fix. Motion‑sickness avoidance and physical notes are used as pragmatic constraints.
