Research and open questions

Research supports decisions in the guide. This section distinguishes author-reported measurements, external evidence, and investigations that are only proposed.

Explore the evidence by subject

• Context and retrieval: author-reported experiments and practical patterns.
• Memory measurements: what was tested and what the results do not establish.
• Memory benchmarks: how comparisons can mislead.
• Industrial examples from external sources: documented capabilities and their limits.
• The fourteen layers and their research findings: detailed findings and dated external sources.

Where things stand

Each new design example identifies its scope and limitations. A proposed agent extension is not labeled as an operational deployment. Existing experiment results retain the circumstances in which they were obtained; they are not universal performance promises.

The reference library contains the deeper explanations. The architecture and use cases show where the evidence affects a decision.
