Working Memory Degradation: Tracking Constraint Loss as Context Window Saturation Increases

In the architectural design of autonomous artificial intelligence agents, the context window functions as volatile working memory. Unlike human engineers who maintain working hypotheses in biological short-term memory while writing permanent invariants to external documentation, an unhardened autonomous agent maintains its entire operational state—system instructions, environment parameters, operational restrictions, tool outputs, and historical execution traces—within […]
