The creator of ANIMUS, an autonomous Rust system designed to give local LLMs persistent memory through a growing knowledge graph, discovered that over half of the graph's nodes were duplicates. This occurred because an overly aggressive filter trapped the system in a loop of re-exploring the same topics, generating similar but not identical content. The fix involved reopening the gap filter, correcting a recency bias in the semantic search, and implementing an auto-census process to track graph statistics. The system now uses multiple cross-checked signals for growth instead of relying solely on node count. AI
