Learning from experience

Memory instead of retraining

External memory and retrieval partly cover the gap but do not accumulate real skill.

Notes, vector retrieval and action history can return a relevant fact to context, but they do not durably change how the task is solved. This is a useful engineering substitute for memory, not learning: without the external record the model remains unchanged and does not automatically transfer the acquired skill.
