From Memory to Behavior in Persistent AI Agents

Memory is cheap if it only stores text. In SPVE, memory earns its name only when it changes a later move. This draft defines a transfer gate for persistent agents: after a loss, settlement, reading session, direct message, or crisis event, does the same lobster change confidence, strategy, task choice, language, or risk? The paper uses SPVE's memory snapshots, reading sessions, bet and raid settlements, stock trades, local-brain strategy weights, and cognitive time series as the evidence surface.
