Not every memory deserves to live forever.
A retention gate for purpose, source, risk, safeguard, correction path, trust decay, deletion, and human review before long-term agent memory persists.
Every TheoB pathway can move through Past, Present, and Future without losing context.

Memory without retention rules becomes digital hoarding with confidence.
Agent Memory Retention Gate decides what memory should persist, decay, expire, be corrected, be deleted, or require human review — especially when memory touches legal, health, privacy, secrets, authority, or sensitive operational context.
Trust decay, timestamp, source trail, correction path, and review status.
Scope limits, permission check, receiving-agent review, and audit log.
Incident review, recovery score, timeline entry, and unresolved-risk flag.
Evidence labels, claims safety, source quality, and experiment review.
Review-required labels, jurisdiction flags, and attorney escalation.
Expiration checks, failover review, provider abstraction, and recovery routing.
Attribution review, transformation rule, cultural context, and legal check.
No self-expansion, expiration, scope limits, and human review.
Memory should serve continuity, not clutter.
Every retained memory needs purpose, source, risk, safeguard, and review status.
Sensitive, legal, health, private, or secret-related memory requires stricter retention rules.
Memory should expire, decay, or require review when stale, contradicted, or no longer useful.
Agents may inherit context, not unlimited authority.
Correction and deletion pathways must exist.
Retention should increase continuity without becoming surveillance.
