Persistent Identity in AI Agents: A Multi-Anchor Architecture for Resilient Memory and Continuity

ArXi:2604.09588v1 Announce Type: new Modern AI agents suffer from a fundamental identity problem: when context windows overflow and conversation histories are summarized, agents experience catastrophic forgetting -- losing not just information, but continuity of self. This technical limitation reflects a deeper architectural flaw: AI agent identity is centralized in a single memory, creating a single point of failure.
