Redux-like single source of state may be due for a comeback — for AI agents

Matt Pocock suggested that Redux, or a Redux-like framework, may need a comeback: having state in only one place sounds highly beneficial for agents — restricting the decision space and allowing only one way of doing things. David Khourshid (XState author) replied that he's already on it.

The underlying idea: agents make inconsistent decisions in unconstrained environments, and the classic frontend philosophy of a single state store with one canonical path could give agents far more predictability.
