This passage is explains why humans have imperfect memory. Seems the perfect memory we wish LLMs had impedes creativity and is maladaptive.

Strategic forgetting helps put the non-deterministic machine to best use. LLMs don't need perfect memory; that's covered by the computer itself.

I like that this justifies the continuing relevance of context engineering - a seemingly dated term - in the face of trends like loop engineering.
