Coupled Control, Structured Memory, and Verifiable Action in Agentic AI (SCRAT -- Stochastic Control with Retrieval and Auditable Trajectories): A Comparative Perspective from Squirrel Locomotion and Scatter-Hoarding

Key Takeaway

Agentic AI systems need tightly integrated control, memory, and verification mechanisms working together; separating these concerns (as robotics, retrieval, and alignment research typically do) misses critical robustness gains that come from their coupling.
