Where should AI memory end and deterministic computation begin? A Reddit architecture debate

A Reddit deep-dive on agent architecture: should LLM memory ever influence the actual computation, or only provide context to a separate, verifiable system? Illustrated by WHATIF, a small-business simulator running 5,000 Bayesian simulations, with a Hindsight memory layer that recalls decision precedents but cannot touch numerical outputs; LLM-generated digits are rejected, predictions are locked before outcomes are compared. The author asks about failure modes of this separation.
