MELD: A Protocol for Merging Knowledge Across Distributed Agentic Memories
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.16357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents share a transport and can call each other's tools, but they cannot share what they know: no protocol lets two agents' memories reconcile a fact phrased two ways, link related facts held apart, or reconcile contradictory knowledge without silently discarding either claim. We present MELD, a self-managing coherence mechanism for a federation of agent memories whose run-time model is the knowledge graph itself. Each brain admits every incoming claim through a five-outcome procedure (insert, merge, relate, conflict, or reject), de
