In three linesPaper formalizing AI agent memory as a distinct data-management workload. Proposes GEM (Governed Evolving Memory) with four state-level operators (ingestion, revision, forgetting, retrieval) and six correctness conditions. Proves record-level systems cannot satisfy these conditions. Prototype MemState on property-graph backend.
