A user observed their AI routing agent repeatedly making the same decision 47 times, each instance involving deliberation and token consumption without retaining memory of previous outcomes. This led to unnecessary computational cost, a phenomenon the user noted could be addressed by incorporating memory mechanisms, citing the 1987 cognitive architecture SOAR as an example where recall replaces reasoning.
