The thesis

Similarity is not relevance.

A longer context window does not make an agent stateful. Real continuity comes from structure. HydraDB stores knowledge as a versioned graph that preserves every state transition, enriches each fact so it stands on its own, and fuses semantic, lexical, and relational signals at recall time.
