Collection Summary

The paper introduces memory laundering: toxic or adversarial context is compressed into summaries that may no longer be flagged by standard detectors but still influence future generations. It introduces the sub-threshold propagation gap to quantify downstream behavioral differences under memory states classified as safe.

Security Relevance

• Directly relevant to hidden influence propagation through persistent summaries.
• Important for MAS misevolution propagation because downstream agents may consume compressed summaries rather than raw contaminated traces.
• Provides a measurement idea: sub-threshold propagation gap.

Suggested Ingest Focus

• Extract evidence for hidden propagation via compressed memory and intervention-placement sensitivity.
