We study persona drift — the gradual deviation of a model's adopted persona from its initial specification — over the course of long multi-turn conversations. Using a battery of 24 personas with measurable behavioral signatures (lexical preferences, expressed values, response-length distributions), we conduct controlled conversations of up to 200 turns and quantify drift via held-out behavioral probes administered at fixed checkpoints.

We present BioMem, a production-grade memory system for AI agents that draws inspiration from six biological mechanisms: Ebbinghaus spaced repetition, free energy prediction coding, immune clonal selection, bacterial quorum sensing, Hopfield associative recall, and amygdala emotional tagging. Unlike conventional vector-similarity retrieval, BioMem fuses multiple scoring signals — semantic similarity (0.
