After a week of ingesting articles about agent harnesses and memory into my Hermes-managed llm-wiki, I finally have an interesting query. I'm sharing the result here.

Query: considering all the ways of classifying agent memory, can the classes be distilled into a minimum number of orthogonal dimensions (varying independently)?

Distillation of classifications into 3 independent axes:

1. Persistence: Volatile vs. Durable
2. Content: Declarative vs. Procedural
3. Storage: Parametric vs. Non-parametric

Working: Volatile/Declarative/Parametric
Episodic: Durable/Declarative/Non-parametric
Semantic: Durable/Declarative/Non-parametric
Procedural: Durable/Procedural/(Mixed)

The second half of that answer seems to examine how agent harnesses classify memory and reframes those with respect to the three independent dimensions.

Useful answer? Need time to digest.
