  "title": "Coupled Control, Structured Memory, and Verifiable Action in Agentic AI (SCRAT -- Stochastic Control with Retrieval and Auditable Trajectories): A Comparative Perspective from Squirrel Locomotion and Scatter-Hoarding",
  "summary": "Agentic AI is increasingly judged not by fluent output alone but by whether it can act, remember, and verify under partial observability, delay, and strategic observation. Existing research often studies these demands separately: robotics emphasizes control, retrieval systems emphasize memory, and alignment or assurance work emphasizes checking and oversight. This article argues that squirrel ecology offers a sharp comparative case because arboreal locomotion, scatter-hoarding, and audience-sens",
