Episodic-to-Semantic Consolidation Without Identity Drift
Long-running adaptive intelligent agents face a structural tension between knowledge consolidation and information integrity. Memory consolidation is conventionally treated as an agent-changing operation: a model is fine-tuned, a prompt rewritten, a policy distilled, or a reflection appended to the context that governs future behaviour. In regulated autonomic deployment this is a liability because the agent operates under commitments and audit contracts that bind to a specific, cryptographically
