Agents share transport and can call each other's tools but have no way to reconcile a fact phrased two ways (arXiv 2608.16357). Every incoming claim passes a five-outcome procedure (insert, merge, relate, conflict, reject) decided from scoped claim-key identity, embedding similarity, and an NLI verdict, mutating state only through one authenticated Patch. 0.968 AUC, 0.013 false-merge rate. The status CRDT reconverges in 30/30 partition-heal trials where last-writer-wins manages 11/30, and semantic routing delivers ~3x fewer messages at matched recall. Contradictions get preserved rather than silently overwritten, which is the part most memory systems get wrong.
