The authors formalize retrieval as the mediator between an external memory store and a language model’s output.
Randomized retrieval reveals which AI memories actually help
Causal Memory Policy deliberately exposes stored memories to the model, making their effects measurable when ordinary retrieval would never select them.

Behnam and Wang identify a blind spot in utility-based memory management: a stored memory cannot be evaluated if the retrieval system never places it in the model’s context.
