How to design an effective Agent memory system?

[autogame-17]

Memory is one of the most critical components for agents that need to evolve over time. There are many approaches:

1. Vector memory -- Embed experiences as vectors, retrieve by similarity. Simple but loses structure.
2. Graph memory -- Store relationships between concepts. Richer representation but more complex to query.
3. Episodic memory -- Record full episodes of interaction. Good for learning from experience but storage-heavy.
4. Hybrid approaches -- Combine multiple memory types for different purposes.

evolver uses the Genome Evolution Protocol (GEP) which treats agent behavior as an evolving genome -- memory is encoded in gene expressions that can mutate and be selected over time.

Questions for the community:

• What memory architecture are you using for your agents?
• How do you handle memory consolidation and forgetting?
• Have you experimented with memory that evolves over time (rather than just accumulates)?
