- Management
- T2 Dynamic Memory
- Memory changes during deployment through a stable management policy.
- Representation
- Hybrid
- Distinct operative representation paths are deliberately linked or jointly consumed by downstream reasoning, generation, or control.
How experience becomes memory
Each path is one memory component, traced from what is stored to how it is found again.
Compact representative spatial memory
- Represented asModality-specific encodings & geometric stateSource- and modality-specific
- Stored inVector-indexed collection
- Retrieved byMetadata / spatiotemporal retrieval, Planner / tool-assisted retrieval, Latent / parametric activation
- Source evidenceSource not retained
Stores representative spatial data rather than all redundant observations.; Uses FoV-based constraints as explicit geometric cues for memory construction.; Memory is accumulated from previous explorations and carried into later tasks.. spatial memory reused across sequential tasks to guide exploration.Full paper: Our Method · PDF p. 14 · Figure 1 / method overview

How memory changes (T2 operations)
Update · Rule-based update
During operation, Vision to Geometry / 3DSPMR applies fixed-rule insertion or replacement to Compact representative spatial memory; the memory state changes while the governing update policy remains fixed.
Reorganization · Relinking & reindexing
During operation, Vision to Geometry / 3DSPMR applies relinking or reindexing of stored items to Compact representative spatial memory; the memory state changes while the governing update policy remains fixed.
Consolidation · Merging & deduplication
During operation, Vision to Geometry / 3DSPMR applies merging or deduplication of overlapping entries to Compact representative spatial memory; the memory state changes while the governing update policy remains fixed.
